Athletic trainers (ATs) are highly qualified, multi-skilled health care professionals who render service or treatment, under the direction of or in collaboration with a physician, in accordance with their education, training and the state's statutes, rules and regulations.  As a part of the health care team, services provided by athletic trainers include primary care, injury and illness prevention, wellness promotion and education, emergent care, examination and clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions. In order to seek certification, a Master’s degree in Athletic Training must be completed. 

Colorado State University Pueblo is currently seeking accreditation for their new Masters in  Athletic Training program and is not accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The institution will be submitting a self-study to begin this accreditation process on July 1, 2021. Submission of the self-study and completion of a site visit does not guarantee that the program will become accredited. Students that graduate from the program prior to accreditation WILL NOT be eligible to sit for the credentialing examination for athletic trainers and will not be eligible for licensure in most states.

This 4 year program is intended for the students planning to complete the MS in Athletic Training 2 year Master’s Program or who are not accepted into the MS in Athletic Training 3+2 Program.

Graduates of the Pre-Athletic Training emphasis are prepared for entry into Master level Athletic Training Programs as well as other exercise science related positions.
