AT-MSAT - Athletic Training

The Lasell University Master of Science in Athletic Training program is a Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) accredited graduate program, delivered in a hybrid model (online and classroom experience) and designed to prepare students for eligibility to take the Board of Certification Exam (BOC).

Lasell's Connected Learning philosophy anchors the athletic training curriculum. Students are provided with opportunities to draw on both professional experience and newly acquired knowledge and skills to prepare for a career in a variety of settings. Rigorous coursework is complemented by opportunities to put learning into practice through a series of 5 clinical experiences. Students hone their clinical skills and decision-making through simulation, standardized patient encounters, and various lab-based activities.

Students participate in clinical experiences with preceptors in a variety of practice settings. The Lasell MSAT program utilizes a large network of clinical sites, including professional sports, collegiate, secondary schools, and world-renowned healthcare facilities. Through clinical experiences, students gain the skills to work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to provide preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation.

The two-year curriculum is designed with student flexibility in mind. Students begin their MSAT journey remotely during the summer session and transition to on-campus learning for the next three semesters (fall, spring, and summer). This sequence provides significant time with faculty in the classroom and lab to develop clinical knowledge and skills. The second summer provides a transition from face-to-face learning to a remote model. During the final two semesters, courses are delivered in an on-line format to facilitate enhanced clinical experience opportunities both locally and nationally. Over the two-year (6 semesters) program, these rich educational experiences prepare students to provide exceptional healthcare and become leaders in the athletic training profession.
