Athletic Training
MSUB’s Master of Science in Athletic Training program meets the educational requirements for national certification. Students who complete this degree will be prepared to sit for the Board of Certification Examination (BOC). The Athletic Training Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Programs (CAATE).
Individuals must be legally recognized by the appropriate state regulatory agency prior to practicing athletic training. The BOC exam is recognized by all Athletic Trainer state regulatory agencies to meet their exam requirement. Compliance with state regulatory requirements is mandatory and the only avenue to legal athletic training practice. Please find additional information from the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers on individual state licensure, certification, and registration.
In addition to the educational requirements for licensure in Montana, the following additional requirements must be met:
- Current certification by the Board of Certification (BOC)
- Current health care provider certification for cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
- Letters of recommendation from at least two clinical supervisors familiar with the applicant’s clinical training
Students should also be aware that criminal background, citizenship status, residency, age, and other factors may be a condition for licensure in Montana. Students are advised to review all available information on the Montana Board of Athletic Trainers website.
