Athletic Training Program Admission. In addition to the requirements stated above, students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology-Athletic Training must apply specifically to the athletic training program. The application process begins during the fall semester and students are admitted into the Athletic Training Education Program at the start of the spring semester. Admission is competitive, since the ATEP can accommodate approximately 40 students. Thus, a total of 10 to 12 students typically are selected for admission each spring.
Physical therapy is an integral and unique component of the health care system.
As an allied health profession, physical therapy focuses on the neuromuscular, musculo-skeletal, and cardiopulmonary systems of the human body as these systems relate to human motion and function. Human movement and the ability to interact physically with one's environment are essential components of physical, emotional, and social well-being. The physical therapist is dedicated to promoting health, preventing disease, and rehabilitating individuals disabled by injury or disease. An undergraduate degree in kinesiology will prepare students by providing them with the necessary course work required to enter most physical therapy graduate programs in the country, provided the student meets other admission criteria.
