Why Concordia's MSAT program?

Concordia is proud to offer Wisconsin's first master's-level athletic training program. You'll learn all about the intricacies of the human body- from anatomy and physiology to biomechanics and arthrokinematics. As a Christian university, we develop leaders who will go into the world and use their abilities in service to others. Our program emphasizes communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving so you'll be confident and prepared for the wide variety of scenarios you will encounter as an athletic trainer.

Our MSAT program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The CAATE accreditation will provide students with the professional preparation necessary to succeed as entry-level athletic trainers. As an MSAT graduate, you can expect to possess the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to be a successful clinician, fully prepared to pass the Board of Certification Examination, and be eligible for appropriate state credentialing.

Concordia clinical experiences

Our athletic training program is enhanced with extensive hands-on clinical experiences under the supervision of a diverse group of healthcare professionals. As a student, you'll complete five or six semesters of clinical education rotations, including an immersion experience. Common clinical placement sites may include: Concordia University Wisconsin athletics, local high schools and youth sports, fire departments and occupational settings, local physician offices, semi-professional and recreational club teams, and professional teams.
