Learn more about our MS in Athletic Training
Do you aspire to become a certified athletic trainer? Our MS in Athletic Training prepares students to evaluate research literature and make evidence-based decisions. The program includes a special emphasis on concussion and mild traumatic brain injury education. Every student in the program will have clinical experience at the Division I level.
Coursework integrates cultural competency and professionalism in global healthcare delivery. Students also learn to collaborate effectively with interprofessional healthcare teams, patients and athletic program administrators.
You can complete this 53-credit program—which balances classroom learning and extensive clinical experiences—in two years of full-time study. All courses are conducted at Temple’s Main Campus.
Our graduates are employed in a wide range of athletic training environments, including professional, college and high school sports; sports medicine and physical therapy clinics; and nontraditional settings in which employees are conducting physical activity and are at risk of movement-related injury.
