Program Overview

The Kinesiology program is offering an accelerated curriculum allowing students to complete both a B.S. in Kinesiology from Drake University and a Master of Athletic Training degree from University of Northern Iowa in five years. The first three years of the curriculum focuses on (1) courses for the Kinesiology major and (2) pre-requisites for the MAT program. In the third year, interested students can then apply for the MAT program where they will be guaranteed an interview for admission and have a seat saved for them in the program provided they meet all requirements. Students will begin the MAT program their fourth year when they will finish the last few courses required for the Kinesiology degree. The summer between the fourth and fifth year as well as the fifth year are fully dedicated to the completion of the MAT. Since this is an accelerated program, students will need to be particularly proactive in degree planning with their advisors in order to meet both degree requirements.
