Overview

Messiah University’s Master in Athletic Training provides students who have a bachelor’s degree the opportunity to pursue a master’s degree, which is necessary to prepare for and pursue licensure in the athletic training profession.

Why Messiah?

The full-time program is located in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

Students in Messiah University’s MSAT program will gain significant hands-on patient-care experience through clinical rotations in both traditional and non-traditional athletic training settings selected to include occupational, cultural, religious and socioeconomic diversity.

On-campus clinical experiences include work with Messiah’s intercollegiate athletics program and students studying the performing arts and the opportunity for observation and hands-on training at Phoenix PT, OT and AT at Messiah University Winding Hill, a clinic that serves patients in the surrounding community.

Messiah students will have the opportunity to develop a professional network within the local athletic training community and our growing alumni network of athletic trainers. Students also participate in peer-networking across all five years of the program, with upperclassmen serving as peer mentors to younger students.
