BS in Athletic Training/Master of Athletic Training Program (MAT)

This program is an entry-level master’s degree offered via two different routes. A student may begin the program at Eastern Michigan University as a first-year student. This student would follow the Combined Athletic Training program (CAT). This is a 3plus2 program that will award a student a bachelor’s and master’s degree when completed. These students will meet all the pre-admission requirements at EMU and apply to the program during the winter semester of their third year. If accepted, the student will then start the following summer semester and complete the “professional phase” of the program. This will complete their fourth and fifth years. This phase is two full years that require summer coursework. This route would include students who transfer to EMU and do not have an earned bachelor’s degree. When students graduate, they will earn a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Athletic Training degree.
