Master of Science in Athletic Training
Prepare for your career as an athletic trainer with a master's degree in athletic training from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
Our rigorous program will give you the education and experience needed to pass the Board of Certification (BOC) exam and become a highly educated, versatile healthcare professional. Interactive coursework, relevant clinical experiences and career-focused research opportunities will provide you with the skills to assist patients of all types in injury prevention, injury management and rehabilitation. Learn how to triage patients, activate emergency action plans, communicate with a broad range of people and become a comprehensive healthcare provider in an ever-changing environment.
In addition to clinical experience, you'll also have the opportunity to receive professional mentorship from preceptors.
