Hofstra University is currently seeking accreditation for our new Master of Science in Athletic Training program and is not yet accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). The University will be submitting a self-study to begin the accreditation process on July 1, 2023. Submission of the self-study and completion of a site visit does not guarantee that the program will become accredited. Students that graduate from the program prior to accreditation WILL NOT be eligible to sit for the credentialing examination for athletic trainers and will not be eligible for licensure in most states.
