5-year Accelerated Degree Program:
High school applicants to Marquette can apply for direct-admission to the 5 year ADP culminating in an undergraduate degree in Exercise Physiology (EXPH) and a Master’s degree in athletic training (MAT). Candidates apply to this program out of high school using the common application. The common application should prompt the applicant to submit an essay specific to the athletic training application during the process. To complete the undergraduate and graduate programs in a total of 5 years at Marquette, students will need to have Exercise Physiology as their undergraduate major. Any student that is accepted to the MAT program who did not list Exercise Physiology as their intended undergraduate major will be contacted to see if they desire to join this track, or if they wish to complete a different undergraduate major and the MAT instead in 6 years total. Application information and process can be found here: https://www.marquette.edu/explore/application.php
Those in the undergraduate Exercise Physiology (EXPH) major at Marquette University who wish to join the 5-year MAT ADP path can contact the MAT program director for more information. Individuals are required to meet course prerequisites and academic requirements to date to be eligible to apply.
2-year Accelerated Degree Program:
For those interested in athletic training who already have or will have an undergraduate degree and the prerequisite coursework completed or are in progress, you can apply directly to the professional (2-year) phase of the MAT Program. This application process will be completed through the Athletic Training Centralized Application Service (ATCAS), which can be found here.
The application for the professional phase opens up in summer the year prior to matriculation, with applications considered on a rolling basis until the class is full. Each cohort of students starts the professional phase in the MAT Program here at Marquette the end of May, with an anticipated graduation in May 2 years later.
