Athletic Training
Athletic trainers are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who collaborate with physicians to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. The Master of Science in athletic training (MSAT) will prepare graduates to be confident health care providers and life-long learners by providing quality didactic, clinical and interprofessional experiences.
Athletic Training Admission
Two options exist for TCU’s MSAT program:
Early Admission Master’s Program (3+2)

The bachelor's degree is awarded before the fourth year, unlocking a 40% tuition discount after that. Students may also qualify for scholarships in the final six semesters of this 5-year program.
Two-year Program
If you already have a bachelor’s degree and the necessary prerequisites, this is the option for you. You'll receive a 40% tuition discount each semester and may also qualify for an additional tuition-based scholarships.
Clinical Experiences
Students in the Master of Science in athletic training program will complete both integrative and immersive experiences in intercollegiate sports, high schools, rehabilitation clinics, physician practices and practice advancement settings.
An immersive clinical experience is a practice-intensive experience that allows the student to experience the totality of care provided by athletic trainers. Students will also complete an immersive field experience in the summer of their second year.
Field experiences have included physician practices, intercollegiate sports (Texas A&M, UNT, Houston Christian University, UT El Paso, University of Minnesota), and professional sports (Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Aces).
