你知道三月是全国运动训练月吗？ It’s the perfect time to shine a spotlight on the professionals who keep athletes performing at their best, and the programs that train them. 
 
At the University of Nebraska at Kearney, the 运动训练硕士（MAT） program is a top choice for students looking to become certified athletic trainers. 但是什么让它脱颖而出呢？ We’ve broken down the top seven reasons students choose 太阳城娱乐官网’s MAT program.

1. 从第一天开始动手学习

太阳城娱乐官网’s MAT program isn’t about just sitting in a classroom—it’s about learning by doing. 从第一学期开始，学生就直接与太阳城娱乐官网运动员、当地高中、诊所和医院合作。

“Throughout the program, students get the chance to have a considerable amount of hands-on experience with athletes of all ages,” said Britney Brosius, who completed the MAT 3+2程序 in 2024.

2. 按照你的时间表获得学位

太阳城娱乐官网 offers two pathways to earning a master’s degree in athletic training: traditional and 加速.

The traditional route is a two-year graduate program, perfect for those who have already completed or are near completion of a bachelor’s degree. For current 太阳城娱乐官网 freshmen or sophomores, the 3+2加速程序 allows Exercise Science majors to earn both their bachelor’s degree and MAT degree in just five years. 这意味着学生可以更快地进入劳动力市场，节省学费，并无缝过渡到他们的职业生涯。

3. 可定制的临床体验

学生是否有兴趣在大学体育，高中田径，骨科诊所，甚至战斗运动，太阳城娱乐官网量身定制他们的临床实习，以匹配职业目标。

“My big-time goal, Lord willing, is to make a change in combat sports to include athletic training because being in a combat sport myself, I think it’s something that’s really needed,” 卡桑德拉麦当劳, 3+2 MAT 2024 grad, said.

4. 最先进的训练设施

太阳城娱乐官网’s athletic training facilities feature cutting-edge sports medicine technology, including a 三维动作捕捉系统 and a fully functioning clinic for university students, staff, faculty, and student-athletes. These resources equip students with the same tools they’ll use in the field. 

5. 认证考试合格率100%

太阳城娱乐官网’s MAT program prepares students to take the Board of Certification (BOC) exam, the required credentialing exam to become a certified athletic trainer. For the past two years, 太阳城娱乐官网’s graduates have achieved a 100% pass rate on this exam.
 
“太阳城娱乐官网 is right up there with the strongest athletic training programs in the country,” said Brian Hass, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in athletic training from 太阳城娱乐官网 in 2007. “The people who graduate from this program and stay with the profession do really great things.” 

6. 在一个不断发展的领域100%的就业率

美国劳工统计局（U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics）的数据显示，体育训练行业的就业机会正在增加，预计将增长13%。 太阳城娱乐官网 graduates don’t just land jobs; 他们通过多种临床和体验式学习机会找到自己喜欢的职业。

“Job placement has been 100% recently” Program Director for 太阳城娱乐官网’s Master of Athletic Training Dr. Kazuma Akehi said. “We have had students get full-time jobs at collegiate athletics, high schools, or orthopedic rehabilitation clinics and advance to PT school, chiropractic school, and doctoral degrees (PhD).”

7. 一个相互支持、关系紧密的社区

太阳城娱乐官网 isn’t just a university; it’s a family. 学生 build strong relationships with faculty, peers, and industry professionals, benefiting from low student-to-faculty ratios that ensure personalized mentorship

“The professors really care about you here,” said McDonald. “I think that’s something that’s really unique—how much they invest in you.”
