Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training

Barry University's undergraduate athletic training program will give you a comprehensive view of the field and prepare you for career opportunities in professions related to the care, prevention, assessment, and rehabilitation of injuries related to physical activity. 

The Athletic Training bachelor's degree also provides a strong foundation in the sciences for students interested in pursuing graduate study in athletic training or in the related fields of exercise physiology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, recreational therapy, and physician's assistant. It will also provide you with the knowledge, skills and credentials to sit for the Board of Certification exam.

As a senior in our Athletic Training clinical program, you'll spend your last year of clinical fixed experience in one of the program's high school or clinical sites.

This experience offers you a one-to-one opportunity to work under a full-time, BOC-certified state licensed athletic trainer to integrate formal academic knowledge and skill with practical experience in actual situations.
