Healthcare professions have greatly evolved in recent years, and athletic training is no exception. In May 2015, the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance, led by the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) and the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) agreed to move the standard for the professional degree in athletic training to the master's level. In response to this decision, UIndy's athletic training major is transitioning from an undergraduate professional program to a graduate professional program.?
While accredited colleges and universities have a minimum of seven years to implement the decision made by the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance, UIndy wishes to remain ahead of the curve by providing the level of educational experience that will keep our students competitive and relevant when they enter the job market. UIndy's athletic training program is one of the first at the state, regional and national levels to transition to a graduate program.?
