When an athlete is injured, the team’s athletic trainer can be the most important person in getting that athlete safely back on the playing field. To be an athletic trainer, you must earn a master’s in athletic training. UIndy’s pre-athletic training program, which is a concentration of your chosen major, gives you the classroom and hands-on experiences to get you well-prepared for the graduate years. After that, you'll be ready to be the hero for active people, from professional athlete to weekend warrior.
Pre-athletic training is an area of concentration, which you can add to many majors. Following are some of the most beneficial majors for someone who wants to pursue a graduate degree in athletic training.
