Program Overview and Rationalea. Provide a brief descriptive overview of the program citing its 1) purpose andstrengths, 2) fit with the institutional mission or institutional learningoutcomes, and 3) the compelling reasons for offering the program at this time.The purpose of this program is to prepare healthcare professionals whocollaborate with physicians to optimize activity and participation of patientsand clients. Athletic Training encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, andintervention of emergency, acute and chronic medical conditions involvingimpairment, functional limitations, and disabilities.

Several features of theprogram will draw candidates that will apply and ultimately enroll: 1)Comprehensive integration of scholarly and creative activities, and researchskills throughout the curriculum that develops and refines the clinician for anevidence-based practice approach to patient outcomes; 2) CSULB is a publicinstitution recognized for its best value in public education that combineshigh quality education and opportunities with an economic value; 3) CSULB isone of the most ethnically and culturally diverse campuses in the nationserving and awarding degrees to minorities; and 4) the accomplishments ofits students and faculty in the athletic training discipline, department,college, and university.The CSULB Mission Statement:California State University, Long Beach is a diverse, studentcentered, globally-engaged public university committed to providinghighly-valued undergraduate and graduate educational opportunitiesthrough superior teaching, research, creative activity and service for thepeople of California and the world.The above university mission statement focuses on its academic purpose thatstudents are graduating with a highly valued degree to be successful andactive participants in the ever changing global world.

The athletic trainers’ scope of practice and rolecontinues professionally evolve in the health care industry and within theinterprofessional health care team. The athletic trainers’ educationalpreparation must reflect the credentialing standards expected for the healthcare industry for continued professional acceptance and recognition in theseevolving environments.Professional degree programs in Athletic Training are accredited by theCommission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). TheCSULB Athletic Training Program has been a leader in athletic trainingeducation since 1971. Its curriculum has evolved over time to the currentBachelor of Science in Athletic Training professional degree which is currentlyaccredited by CAATE. Athletic Training continues to professionally evolve inthe healthcare industry and must reflect the healthcare industry’s credentialstandards and expectations.As a result of this healthcare industry expectation and professional evolution,CAATE revised its Accreditation Standard 2 to reflect inclusion of thefollowing language: CAATE accredited professional athletic training programsmust result in the granting of a master’s in Athletic Training. The programmust be identified as an academic athletic training degree in institutionalacademic publications. The degree must appear on the official transcriptsimilar to normal designations for other degrees at the institution.
