Academic Catalog 2006-2007: Exercise Science

The Exercise Science Department houses three academic majors: Athletic Training, Exercise Science, and Sports Management, and a minor in Exercise Science. The department also offers a pre-licensure program designed to prepare a student for Teacher Licensure in Physical Education and Health for Pre-K through 12th grade.

ATHLETIC TRAINING MAJOR (BS)

The Sterling College Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) primarily utilizes the Department of Exercise Science resources in offering a high quality curriculum in athletic training. The ATEP also utilizes courses from biology, behavioral science, and mathematics to achieve the Commission on Accreditation for Athletic Training Education (CAATE) standards for athletic training education. The ATEP provides high quality instruction of competencies and clinical proficiencies for a number of upper and lower level athletic courses. The ATEP is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Effective January 1, 2004 eligibility for the Board of Certification (BOC) exam will consist of submitting a valid application upon graduation from a CAATE accredited Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP). Upon successful completion of the BOC exam and satisfaction of state regulations, a graduate will be eligible for employment as a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC). Further details regarding the BOC qualifications may be found at the following URL: http://www.bocatc.org.
