The Athletic Training major is offered out of the Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP), a program accredited
by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education
(CAATE). Students who successfully complete this major will be
eligible to sit for state licensure and national certification examinations. Upon successful completion of these exams, they will be able
to serve as an athletic trainer in public and private schools,
clinics, and other settings where the prevention and care of athletic
injuries is practiced. To become an athletic training student,
application must be made to the director of the ATEP, Mr. Sean Willeford. Mr. Willeford can be contacted through the Department of Kinesiology or the Athletic Training Room in TCU Athletics. Successful
candidates will have a strong academic
record, a background in the natural sciences, and experience in
athletic training during their high school years. Those who
do not have previous experience in athletic training, but are judged
to have potential as an athletic training student will be considered,
especially if they have strong academic credentials. Once admitted to the ATEP, students must meet specified academic performance standards.
