Athletic trainers are health care professionals best known for their role in sports medicine. They collaborate with physicians to provide preventive and emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.

Ohio State's Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training (BSAT) is a flagship program with a well-established international reputation for excellence. Its graduates' board exam performance consistently places us in the top tier among programs nationally and there are few programs that can offer the variety and quality of opportunities that you will find here. While it is a competitive program, this is also a program where everyone knows you by name and every instructor is invested in your personal and professional success.

This program is guided by four goals:

  • To graduate students who are ready for independent practice.
  • To graduate students who will become leaders in Athletic Training and/or the Medical Community.
  • To graduate students who are engaged in serving the larger community.
  • To graduate students who will be future innovators.
