Course Sequence

Courses with the ATHT prefix are specific to the UNL Athletic Training Program and contain specific athletic training educational competencies. The educational competencies begin with the first athletic training course (ATHT 800 - Introduction to Athletic Training Practices) and build in complexity with each additional ATHT course. Courses with the ATHT prefix must be completed in the order listed in the course sequence below, and the Graduate Catalog. 

Courses that do not have the ATHT prefix may be sequenced in a different order determined by discussions with the student’s academic advisor.
