The exact text is as follows: Athletic training education at Springfield College began in the 1920's as an apprenticeship experience. In 1974, AT was developed into a specialization within Physical Education and becoming a stand alone major in 1986. For the next 34 years, the AT degree was offered at the undergraduate level, until 2020, when it was moved the Master's level. In 2024, Springfield begins offering a 2 Year AT Residency in Prevention and Wellness. Throughout the history of the program, students already holding the ATC® credential earned advanced degrees at the master and doctoral level in related fields and served as Teaching Fellows/Preceptors for the UG program.
