Northern Arizona University

ATHLETIC TRAINING PROGRAM

We have successfully completed the candidacy process for accreditation and have been awarded status as a CAATE accredited undergraduate Athletic Training Education Program. We are now one of two CAATE accredited institutions in the state of Arizona, and the only state institution with such a program.

Northern Arizona University offers a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training through the Athletic Training Education Program as well as clinical opportunities in Flagstaff and around the state of Arizona. Students may apply to the NAU Athletic Training Room as freshmen. All students, including those admitted to the NAU Athletic Training Room must apply for admission to the Education Program during their freshman or sophomore year in school. Admission into one program does not guarantee admission into the other. The selection process for admittance into the Education Program is highly competitive. Once selected and enrolled in the Education Program, students will be exposed to diverse clinical rotations including but not limited to NAU, Community College, and High School Athletic Training rooms as well as various allied healthcare settings.
