The mission of the professional Master of Science in Athletic Training at the University of Kentucky is to effectively prepare entry-level athletic trainers for employment and/or pursuit of advanced education by providing diverse educational, scholarly, clinical, and service opportunities.
A career in athletic training (AT) is fast-paced, interdisciplinary, and incredibly rewarding.

As a graduate of our AT program, you will be prepared to practice in a variety of settings including universities, high schools, sports medicine clinics, professional sports and more. Our rigorous curriculum provides every student with a solid foundation to continue their education through residencies, academic doctorates, and other post-professional opportunities.
