The Athletic Training Program (ATP) at Bridgewater State University has as its foundation, a strong educational program rooted in theoretical knowledge and the clinical application of current procedures and techniques in sport injury management. As athletic training students (ATSs) gain this knowledge and expertise through required course work and clinical experience, they will be prepared to make successful contributions to the athletic training profession.
The Program combines classroom education and clinical experiences in a process that culminates in the ATS graduating with eligibility to sit for the Board of Certification (BOC) Examination. Students who graduate from this Program and subsequently pass the BOC examination, will be qualified to be employed as an athletic trainer in secondary schools, colleges and universities, professional athletic teams, sports medicine clinics, or in industrial medical clinics. In addition,
students who complete the prerequisite class requirements may pursue post-graduate education in athletic training, exercise physiology, physical therapy, or other related fields. Once certified, you will be eligible for licensure in Massachusetts, which is required to practice athletic training in the Commonwealth.
