Our partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) provides you with an opportunity to obtain both a bachelor's degree in sport and exercise science from WLC and a Master of Science degree in Athletic Training (M.S.A.T.) from UWM in just five years rather than the typical six!
You’ll complete three years of coursework at WLC - or, if you prefer, the traditional four years - then transition to UWM for your last two years.
This accelerated program is designed for students who want to pursue a career in athletic training, allowing you to complete your master’s degree in athletic training a year earlier than typical, saving you tuition expenses and allowing you to enter the workforce with an advanced degree and begin earning income sooner.
According to the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, athletic trainers “collaborate with physicians in the prevention, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, and rehabilitation of injuries of illnesses.” If your interests include healthcare, injury prevention, rehabilitation, movement, physical activity, or wellness, a career in athletic training may be a great fit for you!
