Pre-Athletic Training

Athletes amaze and inspire us with their dedication and drive. If you’d like to help them stay healthy, recover from injuries and reach their competitive peak, athletic training might be the career for you.

St. Scholastica has an innovative “M.S. in 5” program that will help you earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree within just five years. You’ll work closely with your pre-athletic training advisor to make sure you take all of the courses needed for AT graduate school. Then, after your junior year, you’ll be placed on a fast track to starting your graduate degree.

Like all of our St. Scholastica health science programs, our athletic training courses are infused with our Catholic Benedictine values. Program graduates learn the importance of treating every client with dignity and respect.

The job outlook is bright for athletic trainers. Our program graduates have secured positions in health care facilities, university settings, and fitness and rehabilitation centers.

Program Overview

The Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has agreed to a new set of standards that requires aspiring athletic trainers to get their master’s degree before they enter the profession.

Even though the change won’t take effect until the year 2022, we’re already ahead of the curve. Our MS in Five program will put you ahead of athletic training graduates entering the job market with a bachelor’s degree now or a master’s degree later.

Admission Options

Students may choose from two admission options:

  • During the junior year, undergraduates can apply for the “MS in Five” program to obtain both a bachelor’s and master’s degree within five years, an attractive option for those who are certain they want to become athletic trainers.
  • Apply for post-baccalaureate admission to the program while completing a bachelor’s degree or following completion of that degree.
