Marquette University

What you'll study

The source text describes program structure rather than detailed course listings. Students following the 5‑year ADP complete an undergraduate major that provides an accelerated path into the MAT (examples named are Exercise Physiology and Biomedical Sciences). The 2‑year professional phase is the concentrated graduate-level training sequence that follows completion of prerequisite undergraduate coursework.

Entry requirements

Entry routes differ by applicant type. High school students apply directly to the 5‑year ADP using the Common Application or Marquette's application and must submit an essay specific to the direct‑admit MAT application. Students who already hold or will hold an undergraduate degree and have prerequisite coursework completed or in progress apply to the professional phase through the Athletic Training Centralized Application Service (ATCAS). Those enrolled at or graduated from Marquette may work directly with the Program Director for internal application guidance. Applicants are required to meet course prerequisites and academic requirements to be eligible to apply. The ATCAS application for the professional phase opens in the summer prior to matriculation and is reviewed on a rolling basis until the class is full.

Career prospects

The program is structured to prepare graduates for professional practice in athletic training through its clinical professional phase. The two entry pathways accommodate students progressing straight from high school into an accelerated, integrated undergraduate-plus‑master's pathway and students entering the professional training after completing an undergraduate degree and prerequisites.

Scholarships & funding angle

The programme text does not list specific scholarships. Prospective students should explore university‑wide financial aid, graduate assistantships, and external scholarships for health professions; contact Marquette's financial aid office or the MAT Program Director for current funding opportunities and guidance.
