In order for students to complete the athletic training major, they must be accepted into the Athletic Training Education Program. Students must follow the established application procedures listed below. For complete application information, procedures, and applicable forms.

The athletic training profession will require a master’s degree to obtain certification as an athletic trainer, beginning in 2022. SVSU students who are admitted into our Athletic Training Program to start the curriculum in the 2017 fall semester will be able to graduate with a bachelor’s degree and become certified.

If you are seeking athletic training as a major beginning the fall 2017 and wish to earn a Masters in Athletic Training you will be able to complete a bachelor’s degree through the College of Health and Human Services, and if your plans include pursuing advanced degrees, we will continue to work with you to offer personalized advising for graduate programs in athletic training, physical therapy and other postgraduate study in the health professions.

Moving forward, SVSU remains committed to providing our students with the finest possible undergraduate education David Berry, the Great Lakes Athletic Training Association’s 2016 Outstanding Educator award recipient, is remaining as faculty, and he is taking an active role in adapting our curriculum to best prepare our students for careers in health and health care.
