Millersville University's Pre-Athletic Training program puts students on their way to the master's degree now required by the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance. MU collaborates with other graduate-level athletic training education programs in Pennsylvania to allow students to meet that requirement in five years. Following three years of coursework, students can apply to one of the select graduate programs. Upon the completion of your first year in that graduate program, students receive a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Allied Health Technology with an option in Pre-Athletic Training from Millersville University. Students who continue this course of study earn a Master of Science (M.S.) in Athletic Training from the affiliated university after a second year of graduate study.

Pre-Athletic Training students also have the option to complete all four years of their bachelor degree at MU before applying to an athletic training graduate program.
