Athletic Training Education Program

The Defiance College Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) is a unique program that combines intensive course work with hands-on clinical experience to prepare a student for a career in athletic training. The academic program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Graduates of the ATEP are eligible to take the National Athletic Trainers' Association Board of Certification exam. Successful completion of this exam leads to the credential "ATC" (Certified Athletic Trainer).

Theory and practical applications of athletic training principles are distributed through the student's undergraduate career. The student must complete 60 hours of athletic training professional courses and the college general education requirements. The student must also gain a clinical experience under the supervision of a certified athletic trainer. This clinical experience will be completed primarily on the Defiance College campus with additional off-campus in a setting that will promote a rich educational experience.
