Courses with the ATHT prefix are specific to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Athletic Training Program (UNL ATP) and contain specific athletic training educational competencies. The educational competencies begin with the first athletic training course (ATHT 145-Introduction to Athletic Training) and build in complexity with each additional ATHT course. Courses with the ATHT prefix must be completed in the order as listed below in the Four-Year Plan and within the Undergraduate Catalog.
Courses that do not have the ATHT prefix may be sequenced in a different order as determined by discussions with a CEHS Academic Advisor. An overview of the Athletic Training major, course descriptions, and a Four-Year Plan can be found here.
