Overview

Key Features

The Athletic Training at The University of Maine is designed to be completed in two calendar years. Classroom, laboratory, and clinical experiences are designed to provide the student with an applied understanding of evidence based assessment of and treatment for injuries and illnesses in active populations.

The program offers two paths towards a Master’s degree.

M.S.: (non-thesis) Admission to this track requires completion of 54 credit hours.
M.S.: (thesis) The MS thesis option requires carrying out an original piece of research resulting in a written thesis and a minimum of 57 credit hours.

The Professional Athletic Training Program (ATP) at the University of Maine has a long history of providing students with diverse educational opportunities and practical experience to help them become well-rounded practitioners, and we are excited to transition to the graduate degree level. The graduate program in athletic training at the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development offers a science-based curriculum that provides the foundation for a career in athletic training. Classroom and laboratory experiences are designed to provide the student with an applied understanding of the scientific basis of athletic training in different populations. As Maine’s only NCAA Division I school, UMaine offers a wealth of hands on and real-world experiences right at students’ fingertips.

Our program offers students the opportunity to experience interprofessional education with other students and faculty in health care fields such as Exercise Science and Osteopathic Medicine. The University of Maine is currently accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE), 2001 K Street NW, Third Floor North, Washington, DC 20006 USA.

The program is currently applying to the CAATE for a change in level of degree and is pending approval. Our academically competitive professional master’s program can be completed in two academic years. Students may opt for either a Thesis or Non-Thesis track for completing their studies. All graduates of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program are eligible to sit for the Board of Certification (BOC) Exam for Athletic Trainers, pending CAATE approval. Additionally, we are developing an accelerated 3+2 program with Exercise Science and Athletic Training. Students that complete this program in five years (rather than the traditional six years) will earn both a BS degree in Exercise Science and an MS degree in Athletic Training.
