Athletic Training Transition to Graduate Degree

Thank you for your interest in the 红领巾瓜报 Athletic Training Program. At this time, the Athletic Training major in the Department of Human Performance Studies has begun the transition to a graduate degree.  This transition is required by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) for all Athletic Training programs in every state across the country.  The CAATE has implemented a Fall 2022 deadline for the last undergraduate cohort class of students to enter the professional phase (sophomore year) and must complete the program by Spring 2025.  The graduate degree must be fully approved and implemented by Summer 2025.  If a student cannot complete the undergraduate program by Spring 2025, the new graduate program will not be allowed to start, as per CAATE requirements.

Therefore, the Athletic Training major at WSU will begin to phase out the undergraduate program in Fall 2020.  This means we will no longer accept applications, review application or admit students into the current undergraduate Athletic Training program.  The last group of freshman students were admitted to the pre-professional phase this semester (Fall 2020) and are in the process of completing their requirements for the professional phase of the program to ensure completion by Spring 2025. 

Also, the final group of transfer students who meet those specific requirements (listed on the WSU AT website) will enter the professional phase in Fall 2021.  Future students (students enrolling at WSU after Fall 2020) wanting to pursue athletic training as a major are encouraged to enter the undergraduate exercise science program. These students will be able to transition into the new graduate Athletic Training program in Summer 2025.   In addition, student cohorts currently enrolled in the Early AT to PT program will be required to complete the current AT program by Spring 2024.  The final Early AT to PT graduating class will be Spring 2024.  A new, revised AT to PT track will resume after the new graduate AT program is implemented.

If you have questions, please contact the AT Program Director, Dr. Rich Bomgardner.
