Athletic Training Guaranteed Admission
The Pacific University Doctor of Athletic Training Program participates in Pacific’s Guaranteed Grad School Admission Program. Students may apply for the Master of Science in Athletic Training Program as soon as they commit to Pacific as undergraduates or transfer students, or during their junior year.
Students who are admitted through the Guaranteed Grad School Admissions Program are guaranteed a place in Pacific’s athletic training program if they:
- Complete their bachelor’s degree, in good standing, at Pacific, meeting the minimum program requirements for the MSAT Program;
- Complete all required prerequisite coursework;
- Complete (with documentation) a minimum of 50 hours of volunteering or observation under the supervision of an athletic trainer or related healthcare professional; and
- Fulfill the technical standards.
Students who complete these requirements may enroll in the athletic training program immediately following graduation. Students may also take a break between graduation and beginning grad school, but they must enroll within two years of completing their bachelor’s degree.
After receiving dual admission and completing these requirements, students will have a place held for them in Pacific’s athletic training program. However, students will need to complete the ATCAS application, including transcripts, letters of recommendation, and essays, by April 1 prior to their fall enrollment. (The recommended ATCAS deadline is Dec. 1 the year prior to enrollment; the final deadline is April 1.)
