A test and challenge of athletic training skills and knowledge.

The Urbana University Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The ATEP at Urbana University combines classroom education with clinical field experience to prepare students for a career in the allied health profession of athletic training.  Field experience settings include:  Urbana University athletic training room, local high schools and sports medicine facilities, Wittenberg University, and a variety of allied health professions.  Clinical field experience is tied into a series of practicum courses with students taking one practicum course per semester. 

Students graduating from a CAATE accredited athletic training program qualify to sit for the Board of Certification Exam (BOC). Students who pass the BOC exam and state licensure requirements will qualify for employment as athletic trainers for secondary schools, junior colleges, four year colleges and universities, professional sports organizations, sports medicine clinics, health clubs, and industrial settings.  Graduates are also able to pursue graduate level degrees in fields such as athletic training, exercise physiology, and other allied health fields.
