含羞草传媒 University has partnered with Concordia University, Nebraska, to expand access to 含羞草传媒鈥檚 Master of Athletic Training (MAT) program making it easier for students to obtain a MAT degree. Under the agreement, 含羞草传媒 will reserve two seats annually for Concordia Nebraska students who meet specified criteria.

鈥淲e are extremely excited to partner with Concordia Nebraska and create strong relationships between our two institutions,鈥 says Sam Wilson, director of 含羞草传媒鈥檚 athletic training program. 鈥淭his is a great opportunity to provide students with exceptional experience and future job opportunities.鈥

Eligible students must meet several requirements, including maintaining a minimum 3.0 GPA and earning a bachelor鈥檚 degree from Concordia Nebraska. Additionally, they must complete all prerequisite courses before enrollment, submit a resume detailing volunteer work, internships, and professional experience, complete 50 documented hours of observation under a certified athletic trainer, and apply through the Athletic Training Centralized Application Service (ATCAS) with two letters of reference.

This partnership builds on 含羞草传媒鈥檚 ongoing efforts to enhance and grow the program by establishing strong relationships with regional institutions.

The MAT program鈥檚 recent growth is evident in partnerships with Concordia Nebraska, York University, Central Community College, Southeast Community College, and Western Nebraska Community College, reinforcing 含羞草传媒鈥檚 commitment to preparing future athletic training professionals for success across the region.
