A-State’s Athletic Training department prepares leaders in one of the most critical roles of athletics. You’ll learn to help prevent injuries as well as treat them when they happen. Build on your undergraduate studies and learn the skills you need to push athletes to their best, and keep them there.

Treat. Prevent. Recover.

Injuries happen in an instant and across a wide range of athletics. As a Master of Athletic Training, you'll be a multifaceted healthcare professional who will work with physicians to provide preventative care, emergency treatment, clinical diagnosis, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.
