Pre-Admission Requirements

Please be aware that due to the nature of our program, interested students are advised to begin the basic course work and practicum courses first semester of their freshman year. The clinical rotations involve a great deal of time outside of the classroom, thus dual participation in our program and any of the Liberty University intercollegiate athletic teams or other extensive outside activities is not recommended.

Those considering an athletic training career should understand that, as an allied health profession, a significant level of scientific and medical preparation is required. Prospective athletic training students should have successfully completed college preparatory courses in biology, chemistry, advanced biology (or human anatomy and physiology) and ideally, physics. They also should have successfully completed mathematics courses at least through Algebra II.
