The UCA Athletic Training program meets the education requirements in 49 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. Potential students who live outside of Arkansas, however, should understand additional regulations and requirements for licensure in their home states prior to enrolling in the Athletic Training Program. It is recommended that students contact the Board of Athletic Training in their home states for information and guidance regarding licensure or other regulatory requirements before applying for admission. The national Board of Certification for the Athletic Trainer maintains information about the regulatory requirements for each state and contact information for the states’ regulating authorities.
The following table lists all U.S. states and discloses, in accordance with federal rules, one of the following: (1) UCA’s athletic training curriculum meets state education requirements for licensure or certification or (2) UCA’s athletic training curriculum does not meet state education requirements for licensure or certification. (In the case of one state, California, neither of these statements is accurate because the State of California does not regulate athletic training.)
