Master of Athletic Training Program Starts in July

Applications are being accepted now for Truman’s new Master of Athletic Training (MAT) program.

The MAT is a two-year program offering hands-on didactic experiences. Students work with a variety of patient populations, as well as experienced faculty and physicians.

A bachelor’s degree is required, and all major backgrounds are welcome. Prerequisite courses include human anatomy, human physiology, biomechanics, exercise physiology, nutrition, general psychology, statistics and first aid/CPR certification.

With classes starting in July, the MAT is the newest addition to Truman’s graduate studies programs. Applications are being accepted now for the 2017 inaugural class. The deadline to apply is May 1.

The MAT is a CAATE accredited, researched-based (non-thesis) program. For more information, visit HES.truman.edu or contact Brandy Schneider, athletic training program director, at 660.785.4407 or bschneider@truman.edu.
