Placement and Employment

Many students choose to pursue a master’s degree upon graduation from ONU and further their education in athletic training or another related health science program. ONU has a rich tradition of graduates who have furthered their education at some of the finest institutions in the country such as:

Eastern Kentucky University
Middle Tennessee State University
Ohio University
Syracuse University
University of Alabama
University of Cincinnati
University of South Carolina
University of Toledo
Western Michigan University
Wright State University

Athletic trainers who desire to pursue employment immediately upon graduation may find opportunities in high schools, colleges or universities. Many also work with professional teams year round. Most outpatient sports medicine hospitals/clinics provide athletic training services to the weekend athlete and high school athletes who do not have a full-time athletic trainer on staff.
