Many professional programs are moving to entry level master’s programs. Students can enter the Athletic Training program either at the bachelor’s level or at the master’s level. Students entering the program at the master’s level will be required to have a bachelor’s degree in another area. The course work in MAT is essentially the same as the course work in the BS program with additional assignments, research and a thesis to set it apart from the bachelor’s level. There are no other MAT programs in Utah or the surrounding states. However, Montana State University (Billings) offers an entry level master’s program. There are only about fifteen program of this nature in the United States. Students graduating from the entry level master of athletic training or from the bachelor athletic training program will carry the same credentials. An FBI background check is required of students entering the program. Faculty teaching in the program will have PhD’s. There are currently two full-time professors in Athletic Training, and they anticipate hiring an additional full-time faculty member when the MAT program is approved. The University of Utah has been contacted about the proposed MAT program, and we are waiting for a letter from them outlining their support or concerns of the proposed program. Students applying to the MAT program will be required to take the GRE. Standards for the program and competencies are set by their accrediting agency. The accrediting agency will also do a self study and evaluation of the program.
