<p>I want to become an athletic trainer, but I also want to attend Rutgers University. I was wondering if any of you now if they have an athletic training program, or something I can major in that will land me a job as a athletic trainer out of college.</p>
<p>FeartheD - not sure if Rutgers has a program or not, but if you want to be an AT you must attend a college that is certified by the CAATE. Your degree will generally be a BS in AT although at some schools it is Kinesiology/health. Once you graduate from an accredited college you must sit for the BOC test. It is one of the toughest health certification tests out there with a general first time pass rate of about 35% or 40%. </p>
<p>Take alook at the CAATE site…they list the accredited schools in the US and Canada, there are about 350.<br>
Good Luck!</p>
