Program Description:

The athletic training program leads to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in athletic training. The athletic trainer is increasingly viewed as the expert in care of the physically active. Therefore, Wright State’s program prepares self-directed graduates who can function in a number of settings and work in collaboration with other health care professionals to coordinate and improve the health care of the physically active.

The athletic training program prepares you to sit for the national Board of Certification for the Athletic Trainer examination which meets the certification in Ohio as regulated by the Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Athletic Trainers Board. Licensure and certification requirements vary from state to state, and we have not determined if this program meets educational requirements outside of Ohio. If you are planning to pursue professional licensure or certification in a state other than Ohio, please contact the appropriate licensing entity in that state to seek information and guidance regarding that state’s licensure or certification requirements.

Admissions Requirements:

Minimum score of 21 on the ACT or 1000 on the SAT (direct admit high school student) or minimum score of 21 on the ACT or 1000 on the SAT and a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher (current college student, WSU or transfer)
