The UND Athletic Training Program is a part of the Department of Sports Medicine in the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences. It was the first undergraduate athletic training program in the country to be located in a medical school.

Students completing the curriculum will receive a Master's of Athletic Training (MAT) degree and will also be eligible to take the Board of Certification, Inc. exam. The Master of Athletic Training degree is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education.
