Field Experience
courses are designed to provide students with experiences in a physical
therapy clinical setting, high school and professional sports.
As a future healthcare service provider it is important
for athletic training students to develop their knowledge, skills
and abilities. In order for students to be able to practice their
skills in a supervised manner, each clinical experience course requires
the athletic training student to complete at least 50 laboratory
hours in the day-to-day care and management of injuries during the
semester and at least 300 laboratory hours annually under the guidance
of a supervising athletic trainer. In addition, as part of each
of the field experience course, athletic training students are required
to complete a variety of written comparison assignments and to utilize
their knowledge, skills, abilities in the day-to-day care and management
of injured individuals at various off-campus sites for at least
150 laboratory hours under the guidance of a supervising allied
health professional.
Students accepted into the Athletic Training Program
are required to maintain an overall GPA of 2.50 and must complete
all ATP courses with a grade of "C" or better.
Each student must comply with the regulations
set forth in the Academic Catalogue under which he or she
was admitted.
