Course Information

The Athletic Training Program is a selective and competitive admissions program. This graduate program is nationally accredited at the graduate level by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The AT Program at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is a two-year, 57 credit hour program consisting of formal classroom instruction and a wide variety of hands-on experiences. This includes clinical time with the institution’s NCAA Division I intercollegiate sports teams as well as several other activity organizations such as cheer, dance, ROTC and the campus recreation center. In addition to on-campus experiences, students get hands-on clinical experience at affiliate sites including physical therapy clinics, orthopedic clinics, family practice clinics, and local high schools. Upon completing the degree program, students will have met the CAATE educational requirements and are eligible to sit for the Board of Certification (BOC) national examination to practice Athletic Training. Students would also be eligible for Texas Licensure for Athletic Training, or other state licensure programs outside of Texas.

Students will be held to the standards provided by the CAATE. New requirements/standards from CAATE may result in programmatic changes that will not be reflected in the current catalog. All updates will be posted on the website and in the student handbook and will be reflected in the catalog as soon as possible. The AT Program will do their best to implement these changes in a timely fashion in the least disruptive method possible for students.
