  ---

  After formal admission, students are required to provide  and complete both a criminal background check and drug screen by August 1st (before beginning the program). The Program Director will contact students with more details regarding where to upload immunization documents and how to the background check and drug screen.

  The 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Master of Science in Athletic Training Program enters into affiliation agreements with multiple healthcare facilities and schools throughout the state. These agreements provide 91¶ÌÊÓƵ MSAT students and faculty with authorized access to facility resources and patients. In response to stipulations contained within one or more of these agreements, all students admitted to the program must provide proof of certain immunizations, clear a criminal background check, and pass a 10-panel drug screen. These policies and procedures have been mandated by the 91¶ÌÊÓƵ MSAT Program in an effort to more effectively protect the safety and well-being of the patients, clients and residents of those facilities, and is fully supported by the Department of Athletic Training and MSAT faculty.

  Students are responsible for all expenses related to updated vaccinations and diagnostic tests. The cost of the criminal background check is approximately $74 (may be higher for international students) and approximately $65 for the 10-panel drug screen.
