“Earning CAATE accreditation reflects the dedication of our faculty, clinical preceptors, and students to excellence in athletic training education,” said Dr. Andrew Smith, Dean of the College of Professional Studies. “We are proud to offer a program that meets the highest national standards while providing students with meaningful hands-on clinical experiences.”

̽��’s MSAT Program stands at the forefront of preparing aspiring athletic trainers for success in the dynamic world of sports medicine. The University’s comprehensive graduate-level curriculum combines advanced coursework and hands-on clinical experience with cutting-edge research to equip students with the knowledge and skills to excel in athletic healthcare.

“This accreditation gives our students confidence that they are receiving an education that prepares them to enter the profession and make an immediate impact in the lives of the patients and communities they serve,” said Dr. Joel Blanco, Associate Professor and Director of the School of Exercise Science & Sport. “We’re incredibly proud of the work that went into this process and remain committed to continuous improvement as we prepare the next generation of athletic trainers through exceptional classroom instruction, clinical experiences, and mentorship.”

̽�� the CAATE

The Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the public and profession by establishing and ensuring compliance with accreditation standards that facilitate quality outcomes, continuous improvement, innovation, and diversity to enhance athletic training education. The CAATE provides educators and clinicians with resources and information to stay informed — and compliant — with accreditation standards. The Commission knows that leading in this way improves healthcare outcomes. The CAATE is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
