Exciting Announcement! Our accelerated (3+2) MSAT program has officially been approved and is available to designate as your path to becoming an athletic trainer at USM! As part of this program, students have to be enrolled in the BS in Sports Medicine degree program at USM.

Once a junior, students will apply to the MSAT program. If accepted, students will start graduate courses the next summer and skip senior year! This means students will graduate with their MSAT in 5 years instead of 6, saving a year of time, tuition, and living expenses.

Transfer student and Honors College friendly! Contact us or join us at recruitment events throughout the year to learn more! #SMTTT #ComeSoarWithUs #MSAT #AthleticTraining
