Step 1:
To start the application process, you should create an account with the Athletic Training-Central Application Service (AT-CAS) at https://atcas.liaisoncas.com/applicant-ux/#/login
As you establish your account, search for the ‘University of Central Arkansas’ within the ‘Add Program’ table.
Official transcripts must be sent to BOTH:
