Joliet, Ill. 鈥� The University of St. Francis (麻豆破解版) College of Arts & Sciences and Aurora University (AU) are pleased to announce a partnership that connects qualified 麻豆破解版 students with an opportunity to pursue a Master of Science in Athletic Training degree at AU.
The partnership is designed to establish a cooperative educational affiliation between AU and 麻豆破解版 for qualified applicants. 麻豆破解版 will provide the basic science and general education components of the pre-professional curriculum culminating in a bachelor鈥檚 degree to its enrolled students, at which time AU then guarantees placements in the Masters of Science in Athletic Training (鈥淢SAT鈥�) Program for up to ten qualified 麻豆破解版 students per year. Once in AU鈥檚 MSAT program, students will experience immersive clinical opportunities, cutting-edge curriculum, and medical board exam preparation.
鈥溌槎蛊平獍� Biology majors may select from nine different pre-professional options, one of which is pre-athletic training. This agreement offers a streamlined pathway to a master鈥檚 degree through the relationship the department of Natural & Health Sciences has developed with athletic training at AU,鈥� said Elizabeth McDermott, Ph.D., Dean of the 麻豆破解版 College of Arts & Sciences.
鈥淭his is an amazing partnership that allows 麻豆破解版 students a direct path to earning the Masters of Science in Athletic Training, which is now the degree required for all new athletic trainers.
