Athletic Training Education Program

Admission to ATEP

Freshmen Applications

Admission to George Mason University is competitive and successful candidates generally have a B+ average or higher in a challenging college preparatory curriculum. All students accepted to George Mason University and declaring Athletic Training as a major are admitted into the pre-professional phase of the program (typically freshmen). Freshmen are bound to university admission criteria as stated in the Mason catalog. To progress into the professional phase of the program students must earn a minimum grade of C in all within-major courses and continuously maintain a cumulative minimum within-major GPA of 2.5 or greater.

Transfer Student Applications

Application for admission as a transfer student into the ATEP is competitive. Transfer applicants are evaluated based on satisfactory completion of standards identical to all other students enrolled in the ATEP. Students transferring from another institution must produce documentation that demonstrates successful completion of all pre-professional course work and related clinical experiences. Students must provide documentation of completion of all pre-requisite coursework with a letter grade of C or better and a cumulative within-major GPA of 2.5 or greater on a 4.0 scale. Additional documentation includes: transcripts; course syllabi; letter from ATEP director of previous institution certifying satisfactory completion of all clinical experiences; completed proficiency assessments signed and dated by an Approved Clinical Instructor (ACI) attained at previous institution; and current emergency cardiac care (ECC) certification. Students unable to provide this documentation will not be admitted into the professional phase of the ATEP.
