Transfer Student Considerations

Athletic Training - George Fox UniversityTransfer students must meet all of the same expectations as the traditional four-year students for entrance into the program. In addition, the transfer student must perform 75 observational hours under the direct supervision of a BOC-certified athletic trainer, if the observation is performed off the GFU campus.

In addition, the student must be able to demonstrate they have completed a basic college level first aid/CPR course, and one of the letters of recommendation must have been written by the supervising certified athletic trainer.

Transfer courses that may meet an athletic training requirement must be reviewed by the ATEP director before they will be approved as a transfer credit within the concentration. Generally, a course syllabus must be presented to the program director for review. The course must have included all of the athletic training educational competencies taught in the comparable George Fox University athletic training course. Generally, transfer credit will not be granted for HHPE 374-379, Athletic Training Practicum I-VI.

Most transfer students will be expected to complete all six semesters of the athletic-training education program. A transfer student may spend a minimum of five semesters in the program if they have completed at least 200 hours of internship time in a CAATE accredited athletic training education program and have received transfer credit for BIOL 331, BIOL 332, HHPE 390, HHPE 394, HHPE 400, HHPE 413 and HHPE 414.
