The Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) is designed to prepare those students for eligibility to sit for the National Board of Certification (BOC) exam upon successful completion of the undergraduate curriculum. After passing the exam, the student can pursue employment in a wide variety of settings and practice as a nationally certified athletic trainer (ATC).

In addition, the WLU ATEP offers a Pre-Professional track, which is specifically designed for the student interested in pursuing a postgraduate degree in a health care related field. It includes courses, which will help the student fulfill most pre-requisites for application to graduate programs such as, but not limited to physician assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic, and even medical school. It is the students’ responsibility to comply with the admission requirements from the graduate program with which they apply and assure that all pre-requisites are met.
