Dual Degree - Bachelor of Arts - Art and Design - Illustration & Master of Science - Athletic Training (4 + 2)

Dual degree learners have a space reserved for them in the graduate program beginning in their first year, with clear criteria and achievements required to progress into the graduate program.

Combined with advisement from their undergraduate academic advisor, students’ engagement with the College of Health Professions, participation in activities offered by the Athletic Training program and interactions with Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) faculty provide strong support toward successful progression into graduate study.

In the 4+2 option, candidates complete the bachelor’s degree in the traditional four-year time frame and complete two years of graduate study in the MSAT program, earning both the bachelor’s degree and an MSAT degree within six years. This option is open to students in all undergraduate majors with the exception of nursing and interdisciplinary studies, however undergraduate majors in Exercise Science, Health Science and Biology will allow for the most efficient plan of study.
