Marietta's Sports Medicine program puts students on track for success in graduate school.
The Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine major is a pre-athletic training major, and it includes in-depth coursework needed for success in graduate school — specifically in athletic training. These courses include biology, chemistry, physics, communication, psychology, and sports medicine. Unlike most undergraduate programs, Marietta's Sports Medicine majors gain experience studying human anatomy in our human cadaver lab. This program helps students gain the foundational knowledge needed to succeed at the graduate level.
This major is for students who enjoy hands-on working environments that focus on areas of health care. Because every student must have a secondary academic concentration as well as experiential learning requirements such as internships and study abroad, Marietta Pioneers stand out when they apply for graduate programs.
"I knew that I was going to get a good education from faculty and staff who truly care about who I am as a student and a person."
