Athletic Training Outcomes
Demonstrating Student Success
The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program undergoes review by the University’s Committee on the Assessment of Student Learning every two years and annually by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) in order to maintain external accreditation for the program. Both of these processes focus on the overall assessment plan for the program and requires us to analyze the following information as part of our overall assessment of our program’s success.
The data shown below can also be found officially on the CAATE program specific page.
