Why This Program

Sports medicine/athletic training majors are the hands-on practitioners at the sidelines, keeping athletes in their games. Their specialization in the health care of active people means that they are working constantly to prevent injuries, treat emergencies, evaluate needs and rehabilitate athletes, as well as guiding them in proper nutrition, strength and conditioning.

 

The NCC Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Sciences curriculum provides students with the opportunity to explore the area of sports medicine through courses in anatomy and physiology, nutrition, care and prevention of athletic injuries, basic training techniques, and exercise physiology.
