Athletic Training
Lindenwood University offers a Bachelor of Science in athletic training, and the program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The program received its original accreditation in 2003, and it was recently re-accredited in 2019 with the maximum allowed ten-year accreditation period. This program is designed to prepare athletic training students to succeed on the Board of Certification (BOC) examination and become Certified Athletic Trainers. Lindenwood University’s average first time pass rate over the past three years (2020-2022) on the BOC examination is 100 percent.
The undergraduate athletic training program accepted its final cohort in the Fall 2020 semester and is not accepting new students. The athletic training program has received approval from the CAATE to transition to the graduate level, and the university will be accepting the first cohort for the master's degree program in the Summer 2023 term.
The university offers students two main pathways for enrolling in the graduate-level athletic training program, including an accelerated master's program (AMP) pathway for high-achieving high school graduates. This program provides an opportunity for students to earn a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and a Master of Science in Athletic Training in an accelerated five-year format. For additional information on the graduate program and AMP pathway, please refer to the graduate catalog.
