Tuesday, March 08, 2011

CANTON, Mo. – Culver-Stockton College is proud to announce that based on a positive review by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education, accreditation for the athletic training education program at C-SC has been extended through the 2019-2020 academic year.

CAATE is the organization responsible for insuring that athletic training programs meet standards for professional athletic training education, and support continuous improvement in the quality of athletic training education. The nationally recognized standards for entry-level athletic training education were established with support from the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, Inc.

“The CAATE review process is a very rigorous and meticulous process,” explains Rob Carmichael, C-SC athletic training program director. “If it had not been for the tremendous attention to detail that our athletic training faculty exhibited in preparing for the process, it would not have gone so smoothly. We are delighted that our review process went so well, and that our accreditation has been extended. I am fortunate to be surrounded by very strong athletic training faculty and staff members who challenge our students in and out of the classroom. Our students can rest assured that they are receiving an excellent education, and that they have some unique opportunities here at Culver-Stockton that would be very difficult to find elsewhere,” Carmichael continued.

Culver-Stockton College offers a Bachelor of Science with a major in athletic training. Students who successfully complete of this program are eligible to take the Board of Certification examination.
