Athletic Training

The Athletic Training Department seeks to prepare students to practice athletic training in an increasingly physically active society. Our athletic training education program is CAATE-accredited and has an excellent reputation for athletic training education. We offer both classroom and clinical experience to ensure that the athletic training student gains knowledge and skills essential for success. In conjunction with the educational coursework, seven semesters of clinical experience are required in the athletic training room at the University of Indianapolis and other selected locations. Various high schools, sports medicine clinics, physicians’ offices, industrial settings, and professional sports settings may provide the student with a variety of clinical experiences working with athletes and physically active populations of all levels and ages. The athletic training education program/major is housed in the School of Education and students are encouraged to complete coursework leading toward application for additional allied health programs or to continue their education at the graduate level.
