Transfer Students

Each year we add a few students to our program due to transfer from other institutions.  We also welcome internal transfers from other majors at Messiah. If you are a transfer student considering athletic training as a major at Messiah College, there are a few things listed below with which you should be made aware.

You should plan to be here for no less than four semesters although five or six semesters is a more common length of time.

Second, we strongly suggest that Transfer students do not take Athletic Training courses unless they are from CAATE accredited Athletic Training programs. Rather, delay taking these courses in lieu of general education and basic science courses. 

If transfer is in your future, below are courses that you might want to take prior to coming to Messiah.  Refer also to the listing of major and general education requirements for the Athletic Training major by clicking on the links to the right.

If you have any questions about a course meeting Messiah College requirements, call the Registrar’s Office (717-766-2511) and/or reference the course you are considering with the information found here at the Registrar’s Course Equivalency page.
