-
Hands-on experience during all four years of study
We treat the national standards for athletic training programs as a foundation to be built upon. For example, only two years of clinical experience are required for accreditation, but we integrate it into all four years. We do more than the minimum, because we want you to have the very best preparation. -
One of the first programs to be accredited
Barry's program was one of the first undergraduate programs in the nation to be accredited. The program is presently accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Accreditation is an important distinction; it will enable you to sit for the board exam prior to graduation.
