Master of Science in Athletic Training

Salisbury University offers a professional program leading to a Master of Science in Athletic Training (M.S.A.T), which prepares students for a career as an athletic trainer. Athletic training is a health care profession that involves the prevention, diagnosis, and management of active individuals who sustain traumatic or lingering injuries or develop an acute illness or other medical conditions that impair a person’s normal function.

Salisbury University is a premier comprehensive Maryland public university offering excellent, affordable education in undergraduate liberal arts, sciences, business, nursing, health sciences, social work, and education and applied masters and doctoral programs. Our highest purpose is to empower our students with the knowledge, skills, and core values that contribute to active citizenship, gainful employment, and life-long learning in a democratic society and interdependent world.

Salisbury University cultivates and sustains a superior learning community where students, faculty, and staff are viewed as learners, teachers/scholars, and facilitators, and where a commitment to excellence and openness to a broad array of ideas and perspectives are central to all aspects of University life. Our learning community is student-centered. Students learn from professional educators in small classroom settings, faculty and professional staff serve as academic advisors, and virtually every student has an opportunity to undertake research or experiential learning with a faculty mentor. Through our four privately endowed Schools, the College of Health and Human Services, and the Honors College, we foster an environment where individuals prepare for career and life, including their social, physical, occupational, emotional, and intellectual well-being.
