ATHLETIC TRAINING MAJOR
The Athletic Training Education Program is accredited by the
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education
Programs (CAAHEP).The program of study is designed to
prepare students for NATABOC certification. Students will
begin the course of study during their first year at Roanoke
College. Entry level courses will be taken and students will
begin to gain clinical experience in the athletic training room
through directed observation. During the first semester of
their sophomore year, students will formally apply for
consideration of acceptance to the Athletic Training major.
Outlined below are the course requirements, admission
procedures for acceptance into the Athletic Training major,
and clinical requirements.
For a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Athletic
Training, the following units of work are required. Five and
one-half core units (required of all majors in the department
of Education, Health and Human Performance) must be
taken. They include Health and Human Performance 201,
202, 221, 223 or equivalent, 301, 402, and 410.
Once accepted into the Athletic Training major, six additional
units must be taken. They include HHP 307, 308, 413, 414,
415, 416, and CHEM 140. Note that HHP 223 (or
equivalent), 224, 301 and Biology 230 are prerequisite courses
for admission to the Athletic Training major. Biology 260 is
taken as a prerequisite or co-requisite to all upper level
Athletic Training courses. HHP 415, 414, and 307 will be
offered every other year starting with the academic year
2001-2002. HHP 308 and 413 will be offered every other
year starting with the academic year 2002-2003. HHP 416
will be taken during the senior year.
A student's selection of general education courses should
include the following:

units. The following is a list of selection criteria for admission
to the Athletic Training major.
The student:
1. Must have completed at least 12 units.
2. Must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5.

College Athletic Training Clinical Manual . In addition, students
must obtain 800 hours of field experience under the direct
supervision of a certified athletic trainer. The hours must be
completed in an athletic training setting and may be divided
between high risk sports, low risk sports, and the athletic
training room. Two hundred hours of directed observation
during the first three semesters and 800 athletic training hours
during the remaining five semesters, for a total of 1000 hours,
are required to complete the athletic training clinical
requirement. Assessment of psychomotor skills related to
athletic training will be an ongoing process throughout the
four years of study. Students will also gain valuable field
experience working with upper extremity sports, lower
extremity sports, equipment intensive sports and general
medical situations.
