In alignment with the mission of the Department of Kinesiology, and as a CAATE Accredited program, the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program emphasizes promoting wellness and physical activity across a diverse population of patients. Students will learn the importance of self-care and fostering resilience and wellness in themselves, in order to extend better care to others. Over the course of the two years enrolled, students will complete a number of clinical rotations, including immersion experiences during year 2 that most likely will take place remotely. During year 1, students should plan on spending 20 – 25 hours/week in a clinical assignment which will increase to 30 – 50 hours/week during the year 2 immersion experience.
