You Don’t Just Join Our Program. You Shape It.

At Moravian University, clinical education isn’t an add-on. It’s the core of everything we do. While most programs offer just four to 16 weeks of immersive experience, ours delivers a full 50 weeks in the field. That means more time learning directly from expert clinicians, more hands-on practice, and more opportunities to build real confidence in real settings.

What truly sets us apart? You help shape your journey. From day one, you’ll work with faculty to tailor your clinical placements around your career goals, whether you're drawn to D1 athletics, performing arts, or pro sports. This is your chance to design a program that reflects who you are and where you want to go.

All-Immersive Experiences

With the nation's first fully-immersive model for athletic training clinical education, our students spend nearly a full year building skills and confidence in clinical settings of their choice anywhere in the country. Here's a glimpse of some of our clinical partners!

We back your ambition with real support.

The nation’s only first-time BOC pass guarantee. We’re so sure you’ll pass your Board of Certification exam on the first try that we’ll pay for any future attempts you need to become certified—and with a 98% first-time pass rate, we’re confident you’ll succeed.
Textbooks are provided free of cost for student use during the completion of this program, saving you over $1,000 while you focus on what really matters: becoming an exceptional athletic trainer.

To say that graduating from the MSAT program changed the course of my professional and personal life is an understatement.”

I learned so much in the Moravian University MSAT program because of the individualized attention and guidance from my professors, and the clinical experiences that allowed me to make connections in my field outside of the classroom.”
