The Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Athletic trainers are responsible for the prevention and care of athletic injuries and illnesses.

Upon graduation, students receive a Bachelor of Science degree and qualify to take the Board of Certification (BOC) Examination. Under the governance of the State Board of Medical Examiners, those New Jersey residents who pass the BOC Exam qualify to be licensed and work as athletic trainers in New Jersey.

A 3.0 G.P.A. is required for admission into, continuation in, and graduation from the program. All program courses require an 80% (B-) or better for admission into, continuation in, and graduation from the program. For other requirements, refer to the Athletic Training Majors Handbook.
