Master of Athletic Training

The Master of Athletic Training (MAT) program at Arkansas State University completed accreditation review from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) in Spring 2020.

This program is designed to help students with a bachelor’s degree and the proper prerequisite coursework to start the professional coursework required of the profession and the Board of Certification exam (BOC). Once accepted to the program, students attend full time for 2 years to complete the MAT degree. Graduate level classroom and clinical study will provide an educational framework that prepares students to be successful as athletic trainers. It will provide the foundation that allows athletic trainers to adapt to the changing face of healthcare and to be positioned as a healthcare provider who significantly improves the health and well-being of their patients and have meaningful, purposeful career paths.
