Athletic Training
Advisors: Eric Belt, Don Fischer, Trista Olson, Emily Willaert
The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University offer a pre-professional program in athletic training. Students complete prerequisite coursework as outlined by the different accredited athletic training programs. Upon completion of the pre-professional coursework, the student is eligible to apply to colleges and universities offering a postgraduate degree in athletic training. Majors that students frequently pursue along with the pre-athletic training requirements are: biology, exercise and health science, psychology, and nutrition.
Courses commonly required by graduate programs in athletic training include:
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| BIOL 101 | Foundations of Biology | 4 |
| BIOL 201 | Intermediate Cell Biology and Genetics | 4 |
| BIOL 325 | Human Anatomy and Physiology I | 4 |
| BIOL 326 | Human Anatomy and Physiology II | 4 |
| CHEM 125 | Introduction to Chemical Structure and Properties | 4 |
| CHEM 201 | Purification and Separation Lab I | 1 |
| COLG 121 | Medical Terminology | 1 |
| EXHS 306 | Biomechanics | 4 |
| EXHS 308 | Exercise Physiology | 4 |
| MATH 124 | Probability and Statistical Inference | 4 |
| or PSYC 221 | Applied Behavioral Statistics | |
| NUTR 125 | Concepts of Nutrition Science | 4 |
| PHYS 105 | Physics for the Life Sciences I | 4 |
| PSYC 111 | Introductory Psychology | 4 |
Additional courses may be required. Volunteer, shadow, or internship experiences in the field of athletic training are frequently recommended or required.
Due to the differences in prerequisite courses between athletic training programs, students should work closely with the faculty advisor in planning their pre-professional program. Students should meet with the faculty advisor early in the fall semester of their first year.
