Admission into the Masters of Athletic Training Program

Students enrolled in the Sports Medicine major at Marietta College can apply for the 3+2 or 4+2 option. Students pursuing the 3+2 track will apply for admission into the Master of Athletic Training (MAT) Program through ATCAS during the spring semester immediately preceding the first semester of the MAT Program. Students pursuing the 4+2 track will apply for admission to the program during the spring semester of their final year and will submit official transcript upon completion of a bachelor's degree through ATCAS. Students applying for the 3+2 option will need to be within one semester of completing required general education requirements and prerequisite classes prior to applying.
Students enrolled in another major at Marietta College should apply during the spring semester of their final year and complete all pre-requisites required for admission to the MAT program. Students should submit their application through ATCAS, but do not need to submit an official transcript.
