Areas of Concentration for the Master of Science Degree: Adapted movement science, athletic training, and exercise science. Areas of specialization within the Exercise Science Concentration include biomechanics, exercise management, and exercise physiology. Prerequisites to Degree Program: For acceptance to the master’s degree programs, the program area requires, in addition to the general requirements for admission to the Graduate School, an undergraduate degree in kinesiology or in a related field and the following admission standards: an overall undergraduate GPA of 3.00 or if the overall undergraduate GPA is between 2.70 and 2.99, the student must have a 3.00 GPA on the last 60 hours of undergraduate course work (excluding student teaching), or a GRE score of 1000 on the verbal and quantitative parts of the general test. Requirements for the Master of Science Degree: Candidates for the M.S. degree in kinesiology with a concentration in either adapted movement science or exercise science must complete 27 semester hours of graduate work and a thesis or 33 semester hours without a thesis. The athletic training con- University of Arkansas, Fayetteville
The Graduate School Departments and Course Descriptions centration requires 51 semester hours of graduate work and an independent research project or thesis. A graduate GPA of 3.0 or better is required for graduation. In addition, all degree candidates must successfully complete a written comprehensive examination. Athletic Training Concentration: Presently, the athletic training education program has been granted accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation for Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The student is offered the opportunity to interact with high quality researchers/teachers in the field of exercise science throughout the two and half years of course work, clinical rotations, and the research thesis, project or case study. Employment opportunities for graduates include serving as health care professionals for sports medicine clinics and hospitals. Other employment opportunities include professional teams as well as university, college, and secondary school athletic teams. This athletic training program is a pre-certification program in athletic training and is not intended for students who are already eligible to sit for the NATABOC examination. This is a full-time graduate program and requires considerable clinical experience as part of the requirements for graduation. This is a competitive concentration that requires admission to the HKRD department and the Graduate Athletic Training Education Program. Deficiency/Prerequisite Courses for Admission to the Athletic Training Concentration: Students desiring admission to the athletic training education program must complete the following deficiency/prerequisite courses prior to admission: HESC 1213 Nutrition in Health, HLSC 1002 Wellness Concepts, KINS 2393 Prevention and Care of Athletic Injuries, KINS 3153 Exercise Physiology, KINS 3353 Mechanics of Human Movement, BIOL 2213/2211L Human Physiology and Lab, BIOL 2443/2441L Anatomy and Lab. If the above courses were obtained at a college or university other than the University of Arkansas, course syllabi/outlines for courses that are requested to meet the requirements must be submitted to the Program Director of Athletic Training Education for approval. It is imperative that students have the equivalent of the above undergraduate deficiencies or prerequisites to satisfy the competencies set forth by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Board of Certification. Students will be assigned to complete the above deficiency/prerequisite courses if no evidence of the above courses is presented. Students who desire consideration for admission to the athletic training education program must submit the following information: 1) current CPR/ First Aid Certification; 2) each student must provide evidence of a preprogram physical examination based on the University of Arkansas athletic training education program’s technical standards by a board certified physician; 3) evidence of immunizations (mumps, measles, rubella, tetanus, and diphtheria); 4) Hepatitis B vaccination or waiver prior to beginning the clinical field base experience (the University of Arkansas Student Health Center offers the Hepatitis B vaccination for $120.00 for all three shots); 5) a current tuberculosis screening test; 6) a minimum of 50 hours of observation under the direct supervision of a NATABOC certified athletic trainer; 7) three professional letters of recommendation; 8) completion of the University of Arkansas Graduate School Application (because of national accreditation standards and guidelines, admission into the athletic training education program is selective, and therefore, admission to the Graduate School of the University of Arkansas does not guarantee admission into the Athletic Training Education Program); 9) completion of Athletic Training Education Program Application (see athletic training Web site http://uark.edu/depts/atepweb/; 10) an official copy of all transcripts; and 11) all prospective students must satisfy required athletic training technical standards that are listed below. Athletic Training Education Technical Standards: Because the Master of Science degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Athletic Training and NATABOC certification signifies that the holder is a clinician prepared for entry into the practice of athletic training within a variety of employment and education settings, it follows that graduates must have the knowledge and skills to function in a broad variety of clinical situations and to render a wide spectrum of patient care. Therefore, the students must meet technical standards before being University of Arkansas, Fayetteville admitted to the Athletic Training Education Program. The technical standards set forth by the Athletic Training Educational Program establish the essential qualities considered necessary for students admitted to this program to achieve the knowledge, skills, and competencies of an entry-level athletic trainer, as well as meet the expectations of the program’s accrediting agency, the Commission on Accreditation for Athletic Training Education (CAATE). Applicants who may not meet these technical standards are encouraged to contact the Program Director of Athletic Training Education, 303 HPER Building, University of Arkansas. The following are the technical standards: 1. Candidates must be able to actively learn from observations, demonstrations, and experiments in the basic sciences. 2. Candidates must be able to learn to analyze, synthesize, solve problems, and reach assessment and therapeutic judgments distinguished from the norm. 3. Candidates must have sufficient sensory function and coordination to perform appropriate physical examinations using acceptable techniques. 4. Candidates must be able to relate effectively to athletes and the physically active and to establish sensitive, professional relationships with them. 5. Candidates are expected to be able to communicate the results of the assessment to the injured or ill exerciser, to responsible officials, to parents or guardians, and to colleagues with accuracy, clarity, and efficiency. 6. Candidates are expected to learn and perform routine prevention, assessment, emergency care, and therapeutic procedures. 7. Candidates are expected to be able to display good judgment in the assessment and treatment of injured or ill athletes and physically active individuals. 8. Candidates must be able to learn to respond with precise, quick, and appropriate action in emergency situations. 9. Candidates are expected to be able to accept criticism and respond by appropriate modification of behavior. 10. Candidates are expected to possess the perseverance, diligence, and consistency to complete the athletic training degree curriculum as outlined and sequenced, to attempt NATABOC certification within the year of program completion, and to enter the practice of athletic training. Prospective students are required to consult the athletic training Web site: http://www.uark.edu/depts/atepweb/ for information concerning application procedures and specific policies and procedures of the athletic training education program. Following the deadline for application acceptance, the athletic training selection committee, which comprises the three athletic training faculty, an exercise science faculty member, the HKRD graduate coordinator, and the head athletic trainers from both Men’s and Women’s Athletics, will evaluate and rate each applicant. This rating is determined by a 5-point Likert scale and written verbal comments in the areas of GPA, work experience, letters of recommendation, and writing ability (essay requirement). Once a determination has been rendered concerning the applicant’s desire for admission, a formal letter noting acceptance, denial, or placement on a wait-list will be sent to the applicant. The University of Arkansas Graduate School transfer of credit policy will apply if a student desires to transfer credit hours from another institution into the athletic training education program (see transfer credit policy for the Master of Science Degree Program located in the Graduate Catalog).
