Application Processes

The »¨½·Ö±²¥ Athletic Training Program utilizes a holistic, rolling admission approach. Holistic admission values the uniqueness of every individual and takes into consideration contributions from individuals with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Under rolling admission, candidates submit their applications to the (ATCAS) at any time.  The program personnel will then review the application and notify the applicant of a decision within a reasonable time.  Although the review of applications is on-going, first-priority deadline for applying is April 1.  Acceptance is competitive and limited. Therefore, there are no guarantees for program admission even if all the requirements are completed.  The athletic training program begins in June of each year.
