USM's Athletic Training Education Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).

The athletic training major focuses on the care and well-being of the physically active individual. A certified athletic trainer is educated in the prevention, recognition, evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries that occur as a result of athletic participation and physical activity. Upon completion of the curriculum, the undergraduate athletic training major will be able to challenge the Board of Certification (BOC) examination for the Athletic Trainer.
