As fall 2022, we will no longer accept applications for the M.S.K.-A.T. Post-Professional Athletic Training program. Students currently enrolled in the program will graduate in May of 2024.
We will continue to accept applications for the Master of Science in Athletic Training (M.S.A.T.) program.
The two-year, CAATE-accredited Post-Professional Athletic Training Program emphasizes increased depth and breadth of knowledge, advanced clinical practice, research, and scholarship for individuals who are already BOC certified, or are eligible for certification. Completion of this competitive degree program will provide you with current evidence-based knowledge, as well as the skills and abilities necessary to deliver quality, patient-centered healthcare. When you graduate, you will be highly qualified for positions in a variety of healthcare environments, such as the traditional college and university settings, high schools and middle schools, as well as the emerging settings of performing arts and military medicine.
If you do not have an undergraduate degree in athletic training and are interested in this field, our new entry-level Master of Science in Athletic Training program may be right for you.

The structure will provide you with the unique opportunity to be exposed to different philosophies and techniques, taught by a talented and experienced faculty and professional staff.
Along the way, you will have access to state-of-the-art facilities, including an athletic training education classroom with an adjacent clinical laboratory, and various athletic training facilities, both on and off campus, that are utilized for advanced clinical practice experiences.
All applicants admitted into the Post-Professional Athletic Training Program at Indiana University are awarded a graduate assistantship. The program offers a number of advanced clinical practice opportunities. In addition to positions in IU Division 1 intercollegiate athletics and area high schools and middle schools, there are a number of unique clinical opportunities with the performing arts and military medicine.
Our performing arts medicine program includes athletic training service to the world-renowned Jacobs School of Music (musicians and ballet majors), as well as to the prestigious contemporary dance program. Graduate assistants will also be given the opportunity to gain experience working with marching band, theater, touring Broadway shows and musicals, and competitive cultural dance.
The IU athletic training program also has developed relationships with our Army and Air Force ROTC programs. Graduate assistants are afforded the opportunity to provide specialized care to these tactical athletes, with an emphasis on prevention and education.
All of our graduate students have the opportunity to be clinical preceptors educating and supervising the students in IU's CAATE-accredited Professional Athletic Training Program.
