Beyond the Classroom
The Freshman Experience at a Division I institution
The first-year experience of an Athletic Training student is purposeful and heavily involved. In their first week on campus, freshman students are observing athletic teams and in the athletic training room for all sports. At some Big 10 schools, students are not offered this experience until their junior year. At UE, students will obtain 100 hours of observation during their freshman year.

Research
The University of Evansville has six biomechanists who utilize the Dunigan Movement Analysis Lab. This number of faculty is exceptional for a university of UE's size. Students have the opportunity to become involved with research being conducted by these faculty. Internships are also available within the lab where students can learn about the instrumentation and eventually perform research.
