When accepted to the program, these students then complete both the Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s degree in the last two years of the program, allowing students to earn graduate credits at a discounted undergraduate rate.<\/p>\n<p>Students with a bachelor\u2019s degree from another institution are also encouraged to\u00a0apply to the Marshall University Athletic Training program. These students can complete the MS portion of the program in two years like most traditional master\u2019s degree programs in Athletic Training.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div  class=\"herdpress-block wp-block-herdpress-accordion has-gray-background-color has-background\">\n\t<div class=\"herdpress-block__container\">\n    <div class=\"max-w-5xl mx-auto\">\n        \n    <h2  class=\"block__heading accordion__heading\">Master of Science in Athletic Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"my-8 text-lg\"><p>Continuing with the 2025-2026 academic year, the program is organized in a 3 + 2 and 4+2 structure. This means that during the student\u2019s first three years at Marshall University he\/she would be taking the required MU core courses in addition to those courses that are required to apply to the ATP including: Anatomy, Physiology, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Kinesiology, Exercise Physiology, Nutrition, Personal Health\/ Wellness, Medical Terminology, Statistics, First Aid &amp; CPR, Sociology, and Introduction to Athletic Training. During these first three years, students could also elect to take pre-requisite courses that are needed to apply to Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physician\u2019s Assistant, or Medical School. At the end of this three year period and assuming that all the ATP admission requirements have been met, Athletic Training majors would then apply to the Professional Master of Science in Athletic Training Program. Once admitted, students will have two additional years to complete all the ATP class and clinical requirements and would graduate with the Master\u2019s degree. So, in a 5-year period, students can finish the ATP with a Master\u2019s degree. Students presently enrolled at Marshall and having completed the ATP application requirements by the spring 2026 semester should apply at this time. Information on the ATP application process, as well as the documents that need to be completed, can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/athletic-training\/files\/2025\/11\/PMSAT-Application-packet-and-Technical-Standards-25.26.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Professional Master of Science in Athletic Training Program (PMSATP) at Marshall University prepares students for entry into athletic training, medicine, physical therapy, and other allied health and professional fields.
