At a glance · All states

  • 115 colleges nationwide offer a bachelor's athletic training program: 114 awarded the degree in 2022-23 (federal IPEDS completions); 1 more carry program earnings in federal outcome data but no 2022-23 degree count under these program codes.
  • Largest programs by graduates in 2022-23: Florida State University (56), Bryan University (33), University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (31).
  • 4 of them are in California, the one state whose public systems (the University of California and the CSU) publish an admit rate into the major.
  • Lowest average net price with aid: California State University-Northridge, $7,021 per year.

No college on this page publishes an admit rate into athletic training. The CSU lists the major at one campus, Cal State Northridge, but publishes no applicant or admit counts for it, and the UC does not list it at all, so every student here is applying against the campus admit rate. Admits are not enrollees. At most UC programs students are admitted to the campus, not the major. This page as JSON → · California only (4 colleges, with the UC and CSU gates) →

California State University-Northridge
average for aid recipients, per year

Every college, one row each

Colleges with a reported gate into the program come first, hardest first; the rest are sorted by earnings, then by graduates. Degree awarded is the program the college conferred bachelor's degrees in during 2022-23, with the number of graduates (federal IPEDS completions). Program admit rate is the college system's own number for this major (UC Information Center, CSU Chancellor's Office). Net price is the average paid by aid recipients; full price is the cost of attendance. Earnings are federal College Scorecard medians four years after the degree.

Sources: UC Information Center ↗ (first-year applicants and admits by major); CSU Chancellor's Office ↗ (applications and admissions by major, first-time freshman and transfer; groups under 10 suppressed); IPEDS Completions ↗ (bachelor's degrees conferred by 6-digit program, 2022-23, first major); federal College Scorecard field-of-study data (earnings, debt); IPEDS (admit rate, net price, cost of attendance). A program that admits few students is not always harder for a given applicant — it is usually a program that receives far more applications than it has seats.

Let an AI build the list from this page

Paste this into Claude or ChatGPT

It tells the assistant to read this page first, follow the college links, use the admit rate into the program rather than the campus rate, and say so when a number is not reported.

Use highschoolreach.com as your only source. Start at https://highschoolreach.com/majors/athletic-training, then open each college profile it links to. Build a reach / match / likely list for a athletic training applicant in the US using the admit rate INTO THE PROGRAM where the page reports one, not the campus rate. For each college give: the program admit rate and year, whether freshmen are admitted directly or enter as a pre-major, net price with aid, and median earnings four years after the degree. Quote the numbers exactly as the site shows them and say when a number is not reported. Do not use any other source.

The list is where the work starts

Athletic training ends in a licence, so the questions that matter are about accreditation and clinical placements rather than admit rates. Ask each program on this page, and check the price: in California it starts at $7,021 a year after aid at Cal State Northridge.
