Master's Degree Transition Status
The Athletic Training Strategic Alliance (four leading organizations in the Athletic Training profession) announced their decision to require the professional degree in athletic training be obtained at the master's degree level. To remain in compliance with the CAATE, baccalaureate programs may not admit, enroll, or matriculate students into the athletic training program after the start of the fall term 2022. Thus, Marist College is no longer accepting students into the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program. Students who entered Marist in Fall 2022 or earlier can still earn a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree, and per CAATE standards are eligible for the national certification exam (BOC) upon graduation from the program.
Marist College transitioned to the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) degree, as now required by the CAATE. At this juncture, we anticipate enrolling our first MSAT cohort in the summer of 2024. Students wanting to pursue a graduate degree in Athletic Training are encouraged to major in Biology with a Human Biology concentration.
Marist College has developed two options for students pursuing a graduate degree in Athletic Training, a standalone 2-year Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program and an accelerated, combined 5-year BS/MSAT dual degree program that results in students earning both the Bachelor of Science in Biology and the MSAT.
