Athletic Training
Certified Athletic Trainers are involved in the care, prevention, evaluation and rehabilitation of injuries to athletes and the physically active. Athletic Trainers are recognized by the American Medical Association as Allied Health Professionals, and are employed in numerous settings including high schools, colleges and universities, professional sports, sports medicine clinics, industrial medicine settings and hospitals.

The Athletic Training major is a competency-based program designed to provide professional preparation leading toward eligibility to take the national Board of Certification (BOC) exam. The program is fully accredited under the guidelines set forth by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).

The four-year program in Athletic Training includes formal classroom instruction along with extensive clinical experiences, for credit, under the direct supervision of Certified Athletic Trainers. Clinical experiences take place at Lasell College and at affiliated off-campus sites, and include a variety of practice settings and sport exposures.

Sports Science
Sports scientists are knowledgeable in the areas of human performance, fitness, and conditioning. As members of the health care community, they are dedicated to health enhancement and are responsible for the development and coordination of exercise programs as well as the training and education of patients and clients. Using exercise as a preventative measure or a rehabilitative tool, sports scientists work in a variety of settings including public schools, hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, fitness centers, and research institutions. Coursework focuses on the study of the cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, human metabolism, and behavioral sciences. Concepts, theories and practices learned in the classroom and the clinic are reinforced in our exercise physiology laboratory.

The final year consists of exciting capstone courses and clinical internships that offer students the opportunity to specialize in areas of interest through guided independent research and off-campus practicums. These connected-learning expe-riences allow students to apply their knowledge of sports science to real work settings in hospitals, clinics, and research centers. Lasell's affiliation with nationally known institutions in the Boston area provide students the opportunity to gain invaluable experience while working with leaders in the field.
