The Athletic Training and Sport Management Department offers courses and
majors in the areas of sports and physical activity, as well as a minor in Coaching,
in conjunction with the Sports Science Department. Athletic Training is concerned
with the medical care of athletes and the physically active, while Sport
Management is involved with the management and organization of the whole
sporting experience. Both of these majors provide the students with opportunities
to connect their classroom learning with hands-on applications through clinical,
pre-practicum and internship experiences.
More information about these two programs:
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, hospitals, and the military.
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 Athletic Training program at Lasell College is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE).
The four-year program in Athletic Training includes formal instruction in prevention, evaluation and rehabilitation of athletic injuries, first aid and emergency care, therapeutic modalities, human anatomy and physiology, exercise physiology, kinesiology, nutrition, pathology, pharmacology, personal and community health, psychology and health care administration. In addition to formal classroom instruction, students will participate in extensive clinical experiences, for credit, under the direct supervision of Certified Athletic Trainers. Clinical experiences in Athletic Training allow the student to apply what is being learned in the classroom to practical experiences with athletes and other physically active individuals. Clinical rotations will take place at Lasell College and at affiliated off-campus sites, and will include a variety of practice settings and sport exposures. Students will have clinical courses each semester, beginning in the fall semester of their sophmore year, provided all academic requirements are met.
Requirements for admission into the Athletic Training Major include: successful (C or better) completion of a minimum of two years of high school math (preferably algebra and geometry), and two years of high school lab science (preferably biology and chemistry or physics). In order to comply with accreditation guidelines, the College may restrict enrollment in the Athletic Training Major.
