This degree program is designed for individuals who want to work to improve individual and team wellness and health. The curriculum in this program combines the study of anatomy and other sciences with the study in managing fitness and sports performance. If the GPA falls below 2.75 in the required courses, the student will discontinue accruing clinical hours until such time as the GPA is at or above 2.75 in the required courses. All students progress through a series of six clinical experiences. Utilizing peer teaching and the professional staff, experiences 1 - 4 guide the student through the process of differential evaluation and injury management.
Emphasis is placed upon the team approach to athletic health care.
Clinical sites range from the university setting to high school and professional sports teams. Transportation to and from the sites on a daily basis is the responsibility of the student. These hours may be earned through the clinical experiences.
