You have to be sure that the grad schools you are looking at are not for Entry Level Athletic Training Graduate Students. If this is the case, it is more likely the same education you had as an undergrad. However there are Master's Athletic Training Programs that are advanced and more in depth. In my personal opinion, these master's programs appeal mostly to those who have an interest in research in the field of athletic training. I attended grad school with a degree in Kinesiology and was able to do quite a bit of research. I guess it really depends on what you want to do. Graduate assistantships are a GREAT way to learn more and gain more experience. I fully benefited from my experiences. Good Luck! --Previous Message-- : Hello.
