Course Work
Unfortunately, at this time, there is no athletic training major or curriculum set up at Navarro College. However, that is something that is our utmost priority in the near future. Although the degree does not exist, the school offers a full list of basic courses that are great to get out of the way before you get to a four-year school. We offer courses that benefit future athletic trainers and are transferable to four-year institutions. Students can also earn an associates degree in parallel majors such as Physical Education, Medicine, Secondary Education, and Biology.
