Athletic Training Emphasis Fast Track
The university has an affiliation with the Texas Tech University Health Science Center (TTUHSC) School of Health Professions (SHP) that provides outstanding athletic training students an opportunity to complete a bachelor's and a master’s degree in five years. Upon completion of the 109 hour program of study, students apply for provisional admission to the TTUHSC SHP Master of Athletic Training Program. Students admitted to the graduate program may transfer the necessary elective hours back to the LCU to fulfill requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree. Important Note: Students admitted provisionally at TTUHSC SHP are not eligible for federal aid until the B.S. degree is complete. For more information, contact SHP Office of Admissions and Student Affairs, 806.743.3220 or health.professional@ttuhsc.edu. Students successfully completing both programs would be eligible to sit for the examination for state licensing and the examination for national certification as an athletic trainer. Specific requirements for Athletic Training Emphasis/Fast-Track are as follows.
