Students in our program will participate in inclusive clinical experiences, including an immersive experience in a variety of medical settings providing students with interprofessional opportunities.
The curriculum is comprehensive, preparing students to sit for the Board of Certification (BOC) Exam.
*Albany State is currently seeking accreditation for the new Athletic Training program (and is not accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). ASU will be submitting the application for accreditation on July 1, 2024. Submission of the self-study and completion of an onsite review does not guarantee that the program will become accredited. Students who graduate from the program prior to accreditation WILL NOT be eligible to sit for the credentialing examination for athletic trainers and will not be eligible for licensure in most states.
