Master of Science in Athletic Training

Program Overview

As the healthcare sphere continues to expand rapidly, so does the need for qualified workers. A master of science in athletic training degree will equip you to meet this growing demand.

Beginning in 2022, the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) will require athletic trainers to be enrolled in a CAATE-accredited master’s program to sit for the BOC exam. To meet these standards, North Park is now a fully accredited master’s program, supported by its commitment to a high-quality education with access to clinical experience, hands-on training, and seasoned faculty.
