There is a growing demand in the U.S. and throughout the world for Certified Athletic Trainers who specialize in the prevention and care of injuries and illnesses relating to physically active individuals. In response to this demand, Mount Union College has developed a program to prepare qualified students for careers in athletic training.

It is among an elite group of programs throughout the USA that are accredited; Mount Union was recently re-accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE), July 2006.
Graduates of the program are qualified to challenge the Board of Certification (BOC) examination as well as the state examination for a License to practice Athletic Training in Ohio. Students selected into the ATEP serve and learn under the direct supervision of the College Medical Director, the College Team Orthopedic Physician, and faculty Certified/Licensed Athletic Trainers in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of athletic related injuries and illnesses.
Upon graduation at Mount Union, athletic training students will have the fundamentals and training needed to pursue careers in or be accepted into higher education programs for athletic training, strength and conditioning, fitness, therapy and physiology, as well as many other fields associated with athletic training.
