Louisiana Addressing HS Athletic Training Needs

Paul Steinbach Headshot

Three Louisiana schools — Louisiana State University, Southeastern Louisiana University and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette — intend to transition their academic programs in athletic training from bachelor's degrees to master's-only programs in keeping with new national standards imposed by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education and the National Athletic Trainers’ Association that will require a master’s degree for athletic trainers to gain national certification after 2022.

As reported by The Acadiana Advocate, the UL System Board of Supervisors will forward to the state Board of Regents for final approval a plan by UL to phase out its bachelor’s program in athletic training and replace it with a master’s program. If approved by the supervisors, final state approval may come as early as December.
