AREA OF CONCENTRATION: This transfer track prepares students for entering upper‐division studies in sports medicine and athletic training. The completion of the four year program will prepare students for working with injury prevention and recognition, immediate care, rehabilitation, health care management, and professional development in a sports medicine environment. Students pursuing the athletic training option are required to pass The National Athletic Trainers’ Association Board of Certification (NATABOC).
