WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

A Personalized Approach to Your Education. At the center of our program is personalized education where we focus on you as an individual and what you need to maximize your potential. One way we achieve this approach is through our online 2nd year in the program, which allows students to have an immersive clinical experience anywhere in the country. Your immersive clinical experience could focus on being closer to home or could focus on an experience that will help you achieve your career goals within athletic training, or both! In addition, to this personalized approach to clinical experiences in your second year, we also focus on "soft skills" which include communication, emotional intelligence, and conflict management skills that employers are looking for and that will differentiate our graduates from others. One thing that isn't personalized...our tuition. Everyone pays the same in-state tuition rate, regardless of where you call home. This makes Colorado Mesa University, one of the least expensive graduate Athletic Training programs in the country!
