Sports Medicine

Program Overview

Sports Medicine is a two-year program designed to prepare students to pursue careers such as athletic training, physical therapy, and the many other professions under the expansive sports medicine umbrella. In the Sports Medicine program, students will learn how the human body reacts to diet and physical exertion, then implement that knowledge to help people of all athletic backgrounds become or return to the best versions of themselves. Combine classroom knowledge, hands-on practice, and the latest rehabilitation and training technology and you’ll be ready to tackle any challenge.
