M.S. Athletic Training

Athletic trainers help keep athletes and other physically active people at the top of their game. And a master’s degree helps you do that better — and makes you more competitive in the job market.

In fact, Over 70% of athletic trainers possess advanced degrees, and those with master's degrees earn, on average, $5,000 more per year than those with bachelor's degrees.

But that’s not the only reason to get your master’s. A new set of standards set by the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance requires all aspiring athletic trainers to get their master's degree before entering the profession. Students intending to enter baccalaureate programs will not be able to do so after 2022

Since 1912, The College of St. Scholastica has been preparing students for a life of purpose, in addition to economic gain, by emphasizing the Catholic Benedictine values it was founded on.

St. Scholastica is an independent private college with locations across Minnesota, including our original campus in Duluth. Enrollment in our undergraduate and graduate programs has grown from 2,200 to 4,000 in the last decade, due, in part, to our commitment to making high-quality education available online and through convenient evening and weekend formats.
