ATHLETIC TRAINING PROGRAM

SUGGESTED COURSE PROGRESSION AND CLINICAL EDUCATION ROTATIONS

NOTE: In order to complete the program in four years, these courses should be taken and passed with a “C” or above when the student is advised to take the class. Failure to take and pass the courses may result in the student not graduating in the four year time frame. No mechanism exists nor will one be constructed that will allow a student to take classes out of the required sequence.
