THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

DIRECT ADMISSIONS. Like most athletic training programs, Marquette reviews applications for its program on a competitive basis. But unlike most other programs, there’s no re-applying after freshman year. Once you’re selected for the program at Marquette, you can focus on your major right away. If you are not selected for direct admission, a limited number of transfer spots are available.

LEARN THE ROPES NOW. At Marquette, you’ll start your hands-on training freshman year. Your clinical time will be supervised by the same professors you’ll meet in the classroom — all of whom have worked in the field as athletic trainers themselves. So you know that they have not just the knowledge, but the practical experience to teach you.

CERTIFICATION? NO SWEAT. Thanks to your academic preparation along with the practical experience you’ll get working with high school, intercollegiate and professional athletes, you can approach your national certification exam with confidence. Marquette’s pass rate is nearly 90 percent; the national average is 40 percent.
