The mission of the Athletic Training Program (ATP) at Washington State University (WSU) is to provide future athletic trainers with the highest quality of education, knowledge, and skills to enhance the health and well-being of physically active populations throughout our community and the world. Students who graduate from the program will be well-prepared for the Board of Certification (BOC) Examination and a future in helping all individuals safely participate in physical activity. As faculty, we educate our students with the most current evidence-based and practical knowledge while providing an example of expert, professional, and compassionate service.
The Master’s in Athletic Training degree is a 5- year program at WSU. Admission to the degree actually starts during the undergraduate portion of the degree (BS in Sports Medicine) and then concludes with the MAT degree. These two degrees together will allow the student to sit for the national certification exam (BOC) in order to become a certified athletic trainer. You CANNOT complete only the MAT portion of the degree at WSU, the entire 5 year program must be completed at WSU. Students will typically apply fall of their sophomore year for admittance into the AT program. Students will begin the professional athletic training program their junior year, followed by the senior year, and then a graduate year. This graduate year includes a summer session.
