In 1973, Ken Kopke introduced athletic training as a minor course of study at CMU. As the field evolved from a trade into a profession, Central’s program advanced as well, growing into an academic major with accreditation from the National Athletic Trainers’ Association in the 1980s.
Now, 50 years later, the curriculum has expanded again to offer a master’s degree. It’s one of the top programs in the nation with a stellar reputation. At its core, it remains dedicated to the original mission: helping athletes of all ages and sports get and stay healthy.
Support one of Athletic Training’s featured funds and help to ensure a strong future for a program with a profound history.
A sincere thank you to the CMU community for being so generous and Fired Up to celebrate 131 years of CMU with us. Our Giving Week is now complete, and crucial support is going back to CMU students. Thank you for continuing to ignite the path for our students and CMU traditions!
There is still time to participate in CMU’s 131st Anniversary giving celebration. Contribute to the CMU fund or scholarship that matters most to you! #cmu131
