Memo from Program Director
The Athletic Training Program is no longer accepting students for the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree. The Fall 2017 semester was the last opportunity to apply to the Bachelor's degree program, and this degree is in the teach-out phase.
A new Master of Science in Athletic Training (MS-AT) degree will begin in the Summer of 2020. Admission requirements for the MS-AT degree, including pre-requisites, will be posted soon. Contact the Program Director, Dr. Ashley Goodman, at goodmana@appstate.edu for more information.
