The Athletic Training major at Oregon State University is a four-year degree program. The first year is classified as the Pre-Athletic Training year. This Pre-Athletic Training year precedes formal admission into the Athletic Training major. Once admitted to the Athletic Training major, the student will take three years of specialized course work and will complete supervised clinical-educational experiences at an affiliated athletic training facility.

Upon successful completion of the Athletic Training major, the student is eligible to sit for the Board of Certification (BOC) examination. BOC certification (ATC) establishes the entry-level credential to work as an athletic trainer. Athletic training encompasses the prevention, diagnosis and intervention of emergency, acute and chronic medical conditions involving impairment, functional limitations and disabilities. Athletic trainers work in a variety of settings, including sports medicine clinics, hospitals, high schools, colleges and universities, professional sports teams, and corporate/industrial settings.
