Athletic Training Program

Athletic Trainers (ATs) are healthcare professionals who provide patient-centered care in collaboration with a physician. As part of the healthcare team, services provided by ATs include injury and illness prevention, wellness promotion and education, emergent care, examination and clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.

The Athletic Training Program at Western Carolina University focuses and promotes critical thinking and problem solving in our students through a hands-on curriculum that provides a wide variety of clinical education opportunities.

Please Note: The Athletic Training Program is no longer accepting students for the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree.
