The exact text is as follows: Between 1977 and 2023, when the last cohort graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training completes the AT Program, 785 students graduated with either a degree or specialization in athletic training. Of this group of 785, 626 opted to sit for the Board of Certification Examination in athletic training and earn the ATC® Credential. A museum exhibit card included with the framed photograph included the additional information about the Undergraduate Program. The exact text is as follows: In 2015, the Commission on the Accreditation of Athletic Training Education moved the degree requirement from a baccalaureate degree to a master's degree. In response, Springfield College created 2 paths to earn the MSAT degree: a 3 + 2 BS/MSAT degree program and a direct-entry 2-year MSAT degree program. The first cohort in the direct entry 2-year MSA T degree program started in the summer of 2022 and graduated in the spring of 2024.
