| About the NCCC AT Program |
Neosho County Community College has 10
scholarships available for students interested in Athletic Training. These scholarships are the same as the student-athletes and cover books and tuition. Expenses for dorms and
institutional fees are not covered. Out of state student expenses will be different. For more

financial aid webpage or

As an Athletic Training student you will start working in the Athletic
Training Room the first day of school. The Head Certified Athletic
Trainer, the Assistant Athletic Trainer and sophomore Athletic Training
Students will begin to teach you how to tape, keep medical records, and
treat the injured student athletes. There are four Athletic Training courses to enroll in to
complement and reinforce your clinical experiences in the Athletic Training Room.
NCCC will give you an introduction to healthcare education along with a
strong base in the sciences. You will receive supervised
experience and become familiar with the educational components essential
to specifically Athletic Training but those same courses can easily be applied to the broad spectrum of the entire Sports Medicine
curriculum. These courses and time
spent with hands on
experience will better prepare you to transfer to a 4-year school as the
academic knowledge and practical experience are significant additions to
any application or resume. Should you happen to discover you prefer another healthcare profession
or major, you
will still have two years of beneficial college credit on your transcript as an abundant number of basic
required educational courses will have also been completed while here at NCCC.
Students completing the NCCC Panther Sports Medicine program have
been accepted at numerous schools. Athletic Training students have
been accepted at the UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, EMPORIA
STATE UNIVERSITY, MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY, WASHBURN UNIVERSITY, and
the UNIVERSITY OF TULSA. These schools are CAATE approved programs that
will lead you towards your ATC credential. Students opting to
explore other fields of study have been accepted at PITTSBURG STATE
UNIVERSITY and WICHITA STATE UNIVERSITY.
