Accreditation Information: The University of Kentucky is currently seeking accreditation for their new Athletic Training program and is not accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The institution will be submitting a self study to begin the accreditation process on July 1, 2021. Submission of the self study and completion of a site visit does not guarantee that the program will become accredited. Students that graduate from the program prior to accreditation WILL NOT be eligible to sit for the credentialing examination for athletic trainers and will not be eligible for licensure in most states.
Most states require athletic trainers to have a state license. License requirements vary by state, but most states require that the BOC national certification be earned. This certification requires graduation from a CAATE accredited program. Due to our accreditation status, it cannot currently be determined whether the Professional M.S. in Athletic Training meets the educational requirements needed to obtain a Kentucky athletic training license. Before enrolling, students should learn more about whether the Athletic Training programs meet licensure requirements in Kentucky and all states where they may be interested in pursuing licensure.
