Licenciatura en Entrenamiento Deportivo

As hard as humans work, they often play just as hard—in the athletic arena, from collegiate and professional sports to various recreational leagues enjoyed by people of all ages. Athletic trainers are certified health care providers who impart knowledge and skill to address the many facets of athletic activity, from preventing, treating, and assessing injuries to facilitating rehabilitation and return to activity along with counseling on proper nutrition and general health and wellness. It’s much more than taping a sprained ankle or standing on a sideline at a game. A major in Athletic Training at MTSU offers the skills needed to pursue this exciting career path. Students approach preparing for this profession through a holistic, integrated health care/medical model with numerous academic and clinical experiences. The program is based on the essentials and guidelines of the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) of the American Medical Association and the Board of Certification (BOC). The program has been accredited at the entry level since 2002.
