Pre-Athletic Training Track
Is a career in Athletic Training for you?
Athletic Trainers work on the front lines of healthcare for active individuals whether in athletics, the military, public safety, or industrial settings. They prevent injuries, respond to emergencies, evaluate conditions and guide patients through treatment and rehabilitation, making them versatile and essential members of the healthcare team.
Our Pre-Athletic Training pathway in Healthcare Sciences prepares you for admission into accredited Master of Science in Athletic Training programs through foundational courses in anatomy, orthopedic assessment, biomechanics, evidence-based practice and interprofessional education.
What Makes This Pathway Stand Out?
- Hands-on experience: Work alongside certified athletic trainers who care for UIW’s athletic programs.
- Skills that matter: Strengthen your emergency response, injury assessment and rehabilitation skills.
- Confidence for the next step: Graduate ready for the fast-paced, team-based environment of a Master of Science in Athletic Training program.
Unique options exist for the motivated and disciplined candidate:
Direct Admit and SOAR provide commitments to automatic interviews for UIW’s MS in Athletic Training graduate degree.
The Accelerated Bachelor’s-to-Masters degree plan overlaps the undergraduate plan with the graduate plan effectively shortening the six-year process to five years. Students would begin clinical rotations and graduate coursework in their fourth year.
If you enjoy sports, science, and being part of a high-energy healthcare team, this pathway sets you on the right track. Start your journey today!
