Bachelor of Science (BSHS) and Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT)
Duquesne University's strong liberal arts tradition and excellence in Health Sciences serves as the foundation for our dynamic Athletic Training Program curriculum. Our curriculum is designed to provide our students with a comprehensive Athletic Training experience, rooted in the basic sciences and health sciences. Our aim is to educate and train students to provide evidence-based, patient-centered care. For over 30 years, we have been providing our students with a high-quality educational experience that emphasizes critical thinking and decision-making and preparing them for the ever-changing healthcare market.
Students enrolled in our accelerated Master's degree program will earn a Bachelor of Science (BSHS) and a Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) in five years. During the Pre-Professional Phase (Years 1-3) students will be immersed in a comprehensive health and exercise science curriculum, which will set the foundation for the Professional Phase (Years 4-5). The Professional Phase coursework will focus exclusively on athletic training and provide students with rich learning experiences both in the classroom and clinically. Graduates of our program are prepared to practice as certified athletic trainers, which involves providing healthcare to physically active individuals in a range of practice settings.
Athletic Training students are presented with a high-quality liberal arts education, a comprehensive health and exercise science foundation, as well as opportunities to obtain a superior education in both the clinical and didactic components of the Athletic Training Program. Our philosophy is that students are to be given every opportunity to reach their full potential as students, individuals, and healthcare professionals and that at all times, students and faculty are required to strive to maximize those potentials. We demand excellence, expect excellence, and are never satisfied to accept the status quo. The Athletic Training Program also firmly believes in evidence-based practice and encourages all members of the Program in their development, advancement, and dissemination of research and scholarship that underpins the practice of medicine, Athletic Training, and other health sciences
