  • Students can receive up to 25 experiential credits for RHS major courses through completion of the first year of MSAT coursework.  Be sure to know which courses you'll receive credit for so that you don't take these RHS courses.

• Year 4

  ---

  • Begin the MSAT program (Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters)
  • Receive your bachelor's degree in Rehabilitation Sciences at the end of your fourth year (Summer term). Up to 25 credits of the MSAT courses will count toward the completion of the bachelor's degree.

  
  Note: Beginning in Year 4, students will no longer be eligible to receive undergraduate scholarships or grants. Students will be considered graduate students for all financial aid and start paying MSAT (graduate) tuition and fees.

  Although this may seem like a financial disadvantage on the forefront, the 3+2 program ultimately saves students money. This is because the 3+2 program completely elimates their final year of having to pay undergraduate tuition and fees.

  Students get to start and finish their MSAT degree one year sooner = less overall student loans!

• Year 5

  ---

  • Complete the second year of the MSAT program (Fall and Spring semesters)
  • Earn your Master of Science in Athletic Training degree at the end of your fifth year!
    • Graduate at the end of the spring semester and present your thesis at a professional conference!
