Health Sciences (BS) & Athletic Training (MS)

Program Description

As a student in this accelerated dual degree program, you can earn both your bachelor’s and master’s degrees in five years. Students begin their pre-professional education in the Health Sciences where they complete college studies, health sciences, and prerequisite coursework with other health and pre-medical students on Jefferson’s East Falls Campus. Students who maintain progression criteria are guaranteed to matriculate into the Athletic Training professional program.

Jefferson’s academic advisors and faculty work closely with our students on course selection and academic performance to ensure that each student is on pace to transition into the professional phase of the program. The MS in Athletic Training program is designed to help meet the growing demand for professional Certified Athletic Trainers (ATC). It prepares highly motivated students with an interest in the medical field to sit for the National Athletic Trainers Association Board of Certification (BOC) examination upon graduation.
