About the Program
The Sterling College Athletic Training Education Program was developed to assist and nurture the spiritual, intellectual, physical and emotional growth of students into the field of athletic training. It is our goal to meet the needs of the students with active clinical participation, classroom instruction and interpersonal relationships.
Once a student enters into the athletic training education program, that student becomes part of the athletic training family at Sterling College. With high expectations and rigorous educational standards, it is our objective to produce the finest Christ-minded and servant leadership-orientated athletic trainers in the country.
