Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training

Barry University will no longer accept freshman students into the Athletic Training program for the fall 2022 cohort.

We are transitioning to a Master’s degree program.

More details on that program are coming soon.

Barry University's undergraduate athletic training program will give you a comprehensive view of the field and prepare you for career opportunities in professions related to the care, prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation of injuries related to physical activity. 

The Athletic Training bachelor's degree also provides a strong foundation in the sciences for students interested in pursuing graduate study in athletic training or in the related fields of exercise physiology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, recreational therapy, and physician's assistant. It will also provide you with the knowledge, skills and credentials to sit for the Board of Certification exam.

As a senior in our Athletic Training clinical program, you'll spend your last year of clinical fixed experience in one of the program's high school or clinical sites.

This experience offers you a one-to-one opportunity to work under a full-time, BOC-certified state licensed athletic trainer to integrate formal academic knowledge and skill with practical experience in actual situations.

The odds are definitely in your favor at Barry University. Our student-faculty ratio is only 15:1. That means you get personal attention and guidance, and nobody gets lost in the shuffle. Even more impressive, over 80 percent of our faculty hold a PhD or the highest degree available in their field of expertise.

We seek out professors who are not only great teachers, but who love what they do. Their passion, enthusiasm, and inspiration are contagious, and there's no better way to keep young minds excited about learning and discovering. Beyond each teacher's area of expertise, our faculty is committed to promoting equality, social justice, altruism, diversity, and humility. Through education, everyone can have a voice.
