unit requirements and any units associated with demonstration of

proficiency beyond what is included in university admission criteria

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

h For masterrsquos degree proposals include evidence that program requirements

conform to the minimum requirements for the culminating experience as

specified in Section 40510 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations

The culminating applied research experience is a key element of the masterrsquos degree program It is designed as an ldquoapplied research inquiryrdquo experience that supports the scientific inquiry process and application It promotes the

MSAT ndash CSULB 23

use of critical thinking skills to evaluate relevant medical scientific information from both the literature and hands-on research experiences combined with the clinicianrsquos knowledge and expertise to then enhance clinical decision making Overall such an examination encourages development of athletic trainers with research skills and the ability and expectation to directly contribute to the athletic training literature and improves clinical care and patient outcomes The culminating experience for students in the Master of Science in Athletic Training program in the Department of Kinesiology at CSULB will be the comprehensive exam in the form of an applied research project Its standards will be consistent with professional production of written and oral presentations consistent with professional submissions

Program requirements conform to the requirements for the culminating experience as above defined in Title 5 by completion applied research (comprehensive examination) experience in AT 699A (2) AT 699B (2) and AT 699C (2) See Appendix H for the major ldquoadvising roadmaprdquo that was developed for the MSAT

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

j For graduate degree programs specify admission criteria including any

prerequisite coursework

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

b Describe facilities that would be used in support of the proposed program

The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will utilize the existing space of KIN-083 Athletic Training Laboratory to support its lecture and laboratory needs This KIN-083 space is a department designated space that is currently occupied by the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training program The space size is 1662 square feet which is adequate to support class instruction laboratory experience and storage for instructional materials equipment and supplies The MSAT will continue its formal clinical education partnerships with preceptors (~30) in regional community colleges physical therapy clinics high schools private institutions and medical facilities to provide clinical experiences in which students apply knowledge and clinical skills learned in class instruction

MSAT ndash CSULB 42

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

proficiency beyond what is included in university admission criteria

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

j For graduate degree programs specify admission criteria including any

prerequisite coursework

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

b Describe facilities that would be used in support of the proposed program

The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will utilize the existing space of KIN-083 Athletic Training Laboratory to support its lecture and laboratory needs This KIN-083 space is a department designated space that is currently occupied by the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training program The space size is 1662 square feet which is adequate to support class instruction laboratory experience and storage for instructional materials equipment and supplies The MSAT will continue its formal clinical education partnerships with preceptors (~30) in regional community colleges physical therapy clinics high schools private institutions and medical facilities to provide clinical experiences in which students apply knowledge and clinical skills learned in class instruction

MSAT ndash CSULB 42

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

The CSULB Athletic Training Program is currently accredited by CAATE as a baccalaureate program its next reaccreditation cycle is AY 2020-2021 At the time of its next CAATE reaccreditation cycle in AY 2020-2021 the Athletic Training Program intends to discontinue its baccalaureate program and reaccredit as a Masterrsquos Program to coincide with implementation proposal of the MSAT in fall 2020 Any WASC substantive change will be managed by the DepartmentProgram in guidance and consultation with CSULB Academic Affairs and the campus WASC liaison to assure compliance

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

b Describe facilities that would be used in support of the proposed program

The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will utilize the existing space of KIN-083 Athletic Training Laboratory to support its lecture and laboratory needs This KIN-083 space is a department designated space that is currently occupied by the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training program The space size is 1662 square feet which is adequate to support class instruction laboratory experience and storage for instructional materials equipment and supplies The MSAT will continue its formal clinical education partnerships with preceptors (~30) in regional community colleges physical therapy clinics high schools private institutions and medical facilities to provide clinical experiences in which students apply knowledge and clinical skills learned in class instruction

MSAT ndash CSULB 42

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

h For masterrsquos degree proposals include evidence that program requirements

conform to the minimum requirements for the culminating experience as

specified in Section 40510 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations

The culminating applied research experience is a key element of the masterrsquos degree program It is designed as an ldquoapplied research inquiryrdquo experience that supports the scientific inquiry process and application It promotes the

MSAT ndash CSULB 23

use of critical thinking skills to evaluate relevant medical scientific information from both the literature and hands-on research experiences combined with the clinicianrsquos knowledge and expertise to then enhance clinical decision making Overall such an examination encourages development of athletic trainers with research skills and the ability and expectation to directly contribute to the athletic training literature and improves clinical care and patient outcomes The culminating experience for students in the Master of Science in Athletic Training program in the Department of Kinesiology at CSULB will be the comprehensive exam in the form of an applied research project Its standards will be consistent with professional production of written and oral presentations consistent with professional submissions

Program requirements conform to the requirements for the culminating experience as above defined in Title 5 by completion applied research (comprehensive examination) experience in AT 699A (2) AT 699B (2) and AT 699C (2) See Appendix H for the major ldquoadvising roadmaprdquo that was developed for the MSAT

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

j For graduate degree programs specify admission criteria including any

prerequisite coursework

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

b Describe facilities that would be used in support of the proposed program

The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will utilize the existing space of KIN-083 Athletic Training Laboratory to support its lecture and laboratory needs This KIN-083 space is a department designated space that is currently occupied by the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training program The space size is 1662 square feet which is adequate to support class instruction laboratory experience and storage for instructional materials equipment and supplies The MSAT will continue its formal clinical education partnerships with preceptors (~30) in regional community colleges physical therapy clinics high schools private institutions and medical facilities to provide clinical experiences in which students apply knowledge and clinical skills learned in class instruction

MSAT ndash CSULB 42

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

proficiency beyond what is included in university admission criteria

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

use of critical thinking skills to evaluate relevant medical scientific information from both the literature and hands-on research experiences combined with the clinicianrsquos knowledge and expertise to then enhance clinical decision making Overall such an examination encourages development of athletic trainers with research skills and the ability and expectation to directly contribute to the athletic training literature and improves clinical care and patient outcomes The culminating experience for students in the Master of Science in Athletic Training program in the Department of Kinesiology at CSULB will be the comprehensive exam in the form of an applied research project Its standards will be consistent with professional production of written and oral presentations consistent with professional submissions

Program requirements conform to the requirements for the culminating experience as above defined in Title 5 by completion applied research (comprehensive examination) experience in AT 699A (2) AT 699B (2) and AT 699C (2) See Appendix H for the major ldquoadvising roadmaprdquo that was developed for the MSAT

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

b Describe facilities that would be used in support of the proposed program

The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will utilize the existing space of KIN-083 Athletic Training Laboratory to support its lecture and laboratory needs This KIN-083 space is a department designated space that is currently occupied by the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training program The space size is 1662 square feet which is adequate to support class instruction laboratory experience and storage for instructional materials equipment and supplies The MSAT will continue its formal clinical education partnerships with preceptors (~30) in regional community colleges physical therapy clinics high schools private institutions and medical facilities to provide clinical experiences in which students apply knowledge and clinical skills learned in class instruction

MSAT ndash CSULB 42

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

proficiency beyond what is included in university admission criteria

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

h For masterrsquos degree proposals include evidence that program requirements

conform to the minimum requirements for the culminating experience as

specified in Section 40510 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations

The culminating applied research experience is a key element of the masterrsquos degree program It is designed as an ldquoapplied research inquiryrdquo experience that supports the scientific inquiry process and application It promotes the

MSAT ndash CSULB 23

use of critical thinking skills to evaluate relevant medical scientific information from both the literature and hands-on research experiences combined with the clinicianrsquos knowledge and expertise to then enhance clinical decision making Overall such an examination encourages development of athletic trainers with research skills and the ability and expectation to directly contribute to the athletic training literature and improves clinical care and patient outcomes The culminating experience for students in the Master of Science in Athletic Training program in the Department of Kinesiology at CSULB will be the comprehensive exam in the form of an applied research project Its standards will be consistent with professional production of written and oral presentations consistent with professional submissions

Program requirements conform to the requirements for the culminating experience as above defined in Title 5 by completion applied research (comprehensive examination) experience in AT 699A (2) AT 699B (2) and AT 699C (2) See Appendix H for the major ldquoadvising roadmaprdquo that was developed for the MSAT

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

The CSULB Athletic Training Program is currently accredited by CAATE as a baccalaureate program its next reaccreditation cycle is AY 2020-2021 At the time of its next CAATE reaccreditation cycle in AY 2020-2021 the Athletic Training Program intends to discontinue its baccalaureate program and reaccredit as a Masterrsquos Program to coincide with implementation proposal of the MSAT in fall 2020 Any WASC substantive change will be managed by the DepartmentProgram in guidance and consultation with CSULB Academic Affairs and the campus WASC liaison to assure compliance

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

The CSULB Athletic Training Program is currently accredited by CAATE as a baccalaureate program its next reaccreditation cycle is AY 2020-2021 At the time of its next CAATE reaccreditation cycle in AY 2020-2021 the Athletic Training Program intends to discontinue its baccalaureate program and reaccredit as a Masterrsquos Program to coincide with implementation proposal of the MSAT in fall 2020 Any WASC substantive change will be managed by the DepartmentProgram in guidance and consultation with CSULB Academic Affairs and the campus WASC liaison to assure compliance

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

student learning outcome SLOs operationalize the PLOs and serve as the

basis for assessing student learning in the major Constructing an assessment

matrix showing the relationship between all assessment elements is an

efficient and clear method of displaying all assessment plan components

See Appendix D for Comprehensive Program Assessment Plan for the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT)

Creating a curriculum map matrix identifying the student learning outcomes

the courses where they are found and where content is ldquointroducedrdquo

ldquodevelopedrdquo and ldquomasteredrdquo insures that all student learning outcomes are

directly related to overall program goals and represented across the curriculum

h For masterrsquos degree proposals include evidence that program requirements

conform to the minimum requirements for the culminating experience as

specified in Section 40510 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations

The culminating applied research experience is a key element of the masterrsquos degree program It is designed as an ldquoapplied research inquiryrdquo experience that supports the scientific inquiry process and application It promotes the

MSAT ndash CSULB 23

use of critical thinking skills to evaluate relevant medical scientific information from both the literature and hands-on research experiences combined with the clinicianrsquos knowledge and expertise to then enhance clinical decision making Overall such an examination encourages development of athletic trainers with research skills and the ability and expectation to directly contribute to the athletic training literature and improves clinical care and patient outcomes The culminating experience for students in the Master of Science in Athletic Training program in the Department of Kinesiology at CSULB will be the comprehensive exam in the form of an applied research project Its standards will be consistent with professional production of written and oral presentations consistent with professional submissions

Program requirements conform to the requirements for the culminating experience as above defined in Title 5 by completion applied research (comprehensive examination) experience in AT 699A (2) AT 699B (2) and AT 699C (2) See Appendix H for the major ldquoadvising roadmaprdquo that was developed for the MSAT

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

j For graduate degree programs specify admission criteria including any

prerequisite coursework

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

b Describe facilities that would be used in support of the proposed program

The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will utilize the existing space of KIN-083 Athletic Training Laboratory to support its lecture and laboratory needs This KIN-083 space is a department designated space that is currently occupied by the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training program The space size is 1662 square feet which is adequate to support class instruction laboratory experience and storage for instructional materials equipment and supplies The MSAT will continue its formal clinical education partnerships with preceptors (~30) in regional community colleges physical therapy clinics high schools private institutions and medical facilities to provide clinical experiences in which students apply knowledge and clinical skills learned in class instruction

MSAT ndash CSULB 42

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The Athletic Training Professional Degree has national accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education Programs (CAATE) In order to prepare students for professional practice at the graduate level and in alignment with other peer healthcare professions and in accordance with the Institute of Medicine Core Competencies for Health Professionals the accreditation body has revised refined or retired curriculum standards in preparation to transition the professional degree to the masters level only The new curriculum standards reflect the increased expectation of knowledge skills and abilities of athletic trainers in expanded work settings diversification of the patient population and healthcare policy changes

Although it may appear that course similarities exist between both programs the new set of master level curriculum standards incorporate a stronger foundation in physical biomechanical and anatomical science that support a faster and more rigorous content driven education This will also include a more rigorous didactic and clinical education with a greater emphasis on evidence based patientndashcentered care as well as a new focus on outcome-based care Additional athletic training classes with more in-depth knowledge and specific skill including evaluation treatment and rehabilitation will be added to provide a more substantial education on a wider range of topics as well as greater attention to detail and mastery within those skill sets The conceptual foundations of athletic training will not change however masters students will graduate with a larger in depth body of knowledge and skills greater critical thinking and problem solving skills which can be adapted to a larger number of scenarios and a higher level of autonomy and professionalism when entering the work force

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

j For graduate degree programs specify admission criteria including any

prerequisite coursework

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

h For masterrsquos degree proposals include evidence that program requirements

conform to the minimum requirements for the culminating experience as

specified in Section 40510 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations

The culminating applied research experience is a key element of the masterrsquos degree program It is designed as an ldquoapplied research inquiryrdquo experience that supports the scientific inquiry process and application It promotes the

MSAT ndash CSULB 23

use of critical thinking skills to evaluate relevant medical scientific information from both the literature and hands-on research experiences combined with the clinicianrsquos knowledge and expertise to then enhance clinical decision making Overall such an examination encourages development of athletic trainers with research skills and the ability and expectation to directly contribute to the athletic training literature and improves clinical care and patient outcomes The culminating experience for students in the Master of Science in Athletic Training program in the Department of Kinesiology at CSULB will be the comprehensive exam in the form of an applied research project Its standards will be consistent with professional production of written and oral presentations consistent with professional submissions

Program requirements conform to the requirements for the culminating experience as above defined in Title 5 by completion applied research (comprehensive examination) experience in AT 699A (2) AT 699B (2) and AT 699C (2) See Appendix H for the major ldquoadvising roadmaprdquo that was developed for the MSAT

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

j For graduate degree programs specify admission criteria including any

prerequisite coursework

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

use of critical thinking skills to evaluate relevant medical scientific information from both the literature and hands-on research experiences combined with the clinicianrsquos knowledge and expertise to then enhance clinical decision making Overall such an examination encourages development of athletic trainers with research skills and the ability and expectation to directly contribute to the athletic training literature and improves clinical care and patient outcomes The culminating experience for students in the Master of Science in Athletic Training program in the Department of Kinesiology at CSULB will be the comprehensive exam in the form of an applied research project Its standards will be consistent with professional production of written and oral presentations consistent with professional submissions

Program requirements conform to the requirements for the culminating experience as above defined in Title 5 by completion applied research (comprehensive examination) experience in AT 699A (2) AT 699B (2) and AT 699C (2) See Appendix H for the major ldquoadvising roadmaprdquo that was developed for the MSAT

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

b Describe facilities that would be used in support of the proposed program

The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will utilize the existing space of KIN-083 Athletic Training Laboratory to support its lecture and laboratory needs This KIN-083 space is a department designated space that is currently occupied by the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training program The space size is 1662 square feet which is adequate to support class instruction laboratory experience and storage for instructional materials equipment and supplies The MSAT will continue its formal clinical education partnerships with preceptors (~30) in regional community colleges physical therapy clinics high schools private institutions and medical facilities to provide clinical experiences in which students apply knowledge and clinical skills learned in class instruction

MSAT ndash CSULB 42

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

h For masterrsquos degree proposals include evidence that program requirements

conform to the minimum requirements for the culminating experience as

specified in Section 40510 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations

The culminating applied research experience is a key element of the masterrsquos degree program It is designed as an ldquoapplied research inquiryrdquo experience that supports the scientific inquiry process and application It promotes the

MSAT ndash CSULB 23

use of critical thinking skills to evaluate relevant medical scientific information from both the literature and hands-on research experiences combined with the clinicianrsquos knowledge and expertise to then enhance clinical decision making Overall such an examination encourages development of athletic trainers with research skills and the ability and expectation to directly contribute to the athletic training literature and improves clinical care and patient outcomes The culminating experience for students in the Master of Science in Athletic Training program in the Department of Kinesiology at CSULB will be the comprehensive exam in the form of an applied research project Its standards will be consistent with professional production of written and oral presentations consistent with professional submissions

Program requirements conform to the requirements for the culminating experience as above defined in Title 5 by completion applied research (comprehensive examination) experience in AT 699A (2) AT 699B (2) and AT 699C (2) See Appendix H for the major ldquoadvising roadmaprdquo that was developed for the MSAT

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

See Appendix G for the proposed course-offering plan for the first three years of the program implementation with likely faculty teaching assignments

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

h For masterrsquos degree proposals include evidence that program requirements

conform to the minimum requirements for the culminating experience as

specified in Section 40510 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations

The culminating applied research experience is a key element of the masterrsquos degree program It is designed as an ldquoapplied research inquiryrdquo experience that supports the scientific inquiry process and application It promotes the

MSAT ndash CSULB 23

use of critical thinking skills to evaluate relevant medical scientific information from both the literature and hands-on research experiences combined with the clinicianrsquos knowledge and expertise to then enhance clinical decision making Overall such an examination encourages development of athletic trainers with research skills and the ability and expectation to directly contribute to the athletic training literature and improves clinical care and patient outcomes The culminating experience for students in the Master of Science in Athletic Training program in the Department of Kinesiology at CSULB will be the comprehensive exam in the form of an applied research project Its standards will be consistent with professional production of written and oral presentations consistent with professional submissions

Program requirements conform to the requirements for the culminating experience as above defined in Title 5 by completion applied research (comprehensive examination) experience in AT 699A (2) AT 699B (2) and AT 699C (2) See Appendix H for the major ldquoadvising roadmaprdquo that was developed for the MSAT

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

j For graduate degree programs specify admission criteria including any

prerequisite coursework

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

use of critical thinking skills to evaluate relevant medical scientific information from both the literature and hands-on research experiences combined with the clinicianrsquos knowledge and expertise to then enhance clinical decision making Overall such an examination encourages development of athletic trainers with research skills and the ability and expectation to directly contribute to the athletic training literature and improves clinical care and patient outcomes The culminating experience for students in the Master of Science in Athletic Training program in the Department of Kinesiology at CSULB will be the comprehensive exam in the form of an applied research project Its standards will be consistent with professional production of written and oral presentations consistent with professional submissions

Program requirements conform to the requirements for the culminating experience as above defined in Title 5 by completion applied research (comprehensive examination) experience in AT 699A (2) AT 699B (2) and AT 699C (2) See Appendix H for the major ldquoadvising roadmaprdquo that was developed for the MSAT

i For graduate degree proposals cite the corresponding bachelorrsquos program and

specify whether it is (a) subject to accreditation and (b) currently accredited

(WASC 2013 CFR 22b)

The corresponding bachelorrsquos program that aligns most significantly with the proposed graduate degree of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training program admission prerequisites and requirements is the Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology Option in Exercise Science or similar type degree However any earned undergraduate degree is acceptable for admission to the MSAT as long as the student meets the program admission prerequisites and requirements Typically this type of correspondingrelated bachelorrsquos program is not subject to accreditation Please note that CSULB has a professional athletic training program as the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training degree program which is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 Due to changes in the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) for the athletic training degree which requires professional programs at the Masterrsquos level the bachelors program will be discontinued following teach out upon implementation of the Masters of Science in Athletic Training which will be subject to the CAATE accreditation standards (2020) The CSULB professional athletic training program is currently accredited through AY 2020-2021 The goal is to transition to Masterrsquos program prior to reaccreditation in AY 2020-2021 so

MSAT ndash CSULB 24

the substantive change documents can be submitted simultaneously This will most likely produce the smoothest reaccreditation and transition into a masterrsquos program The alternative (if transition occur after AY 2020-2021) would be for the undergraduate AT program to be reaccredited followed by another process to change into a masterrsquos program This typical results in increased fees (considered two separate submissions)

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

b Describe facilities that would be used in support of the proposed program

The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will utilize the existing space of KIN-083 Athletic Training Laboratory to support its lecture and laboratory needs This KIN-083 space is a department designated space that is currently occupied by the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training program The space size is 1662 square feet which is adequate to support class instruction laboratory experience and storage for instructional materials equipment and supplies The MSAT will continue its formal clinical education partnerships with preceptors (~30) in regional community colleges physical therapy clinics high schools private institutions and medical facilities to provide clinical experiences in which students apply knowledge and clinical skills learned in class instruction

MSAT ndash CSULB 42

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The CSULB Athletic Training Program is currently accredited by CAATE as a baccalaureate program its next reaccreditation cycle is AY 2020-2021 At the time of its next CAATE reaccreditation cycle in AY 2020-2021 the Athletic Training Program intends to discontinue its baccalaureate program and reaccredit as a Masterrsquos Program to coincide with implementation proposal of the MSAT in fall 2020 Any WASC substantive change will be managed by the DepartmentProgram in guidance and consultation with CSULB Academic Affairs and the campus WASC liaison to assure compliance

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The CSULB Athletic Training Program is currently accredited by CAATE as a baccalaureate program its next reaccreditation cycle is AY 2020-2021 At the time of its next CAATE reaccreditation cycle in AY 2020-2021 the Athletic Training Program intends to discontinue its baccalaureate program and reaccredit as a Masterrsquos Program to coincide with implementation proposal of the MSAT in fall 2020 Any WASC substantive change will be managed by the DepartmentProgram in guidance and consultation with CSULB Academic Affairs and the campus WASC liaison to assure compliance

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The CSULB Athletic Training Program is currently accredited by CAATE as a baccalaureate program its next reaccreditation cycle is AY 2020-2021 At the time of its next CAATE reaccreditation cycle in AY 2020-2021 the Athletic Training Program intends to discontinue its baccalaureate program and reaccredit as a Masterrsquos Program to coincide with implementation proposal of the MSAT in fall 2020 Any WASC substantive change will be managed by the DepartmentProgram in guidance and consultation with CSULB Academic Affairs and the campus WASC liaison to assure compliance

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The CSULB Athletic Training Program is currently accredited by CAATE as a baccalaureate program its next reaccreditation cycle is AY 2020-2021 At the time of its next CAATE reaccreditation cycle in AY 2020-2021 the Athletic Training Program intends to discontinue its baccalaureate program and reaccredit as a Masterrsquos Program to coincide with implementation proposal of the MSAT in fall 2020 Any WASC substantive change will be managed by the DepartmentProgram in guidance and consultation with CSULB Academic Affairs and the campus WASC liaison to assure compliance

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The CSULB Athletic Training Program is currently accredited by CAATE as a baccalaureate program its next reaccreditation cycle is AY 2020-2021 At the time of its next CAATE reaccreditation cycle in AY 2020-2021 the Athletic Training Program intends to discontinue its baccalaureate program and reaccredit as a Masterrsquos Program to coincide with implementation proposal of the MSAT in fall 2020 Any WASC substantive change will be managed by the DepartmentProgram in guidance and consultation with CSULB Academic Affairs and the campus WASC liaison to assure compliance

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

The CSULB Athletic Training Program is currently accredited by CAATE as a baccalaureate program its next reaccreditation cycle is AY 2020-2021 At the time of its next CAATE reaccreditation cycle in AY 2020-2021 the Athletic Training Program intends to discontinue its baccalaureate program and reaccredit as a Masterrsquos Program to coincide with implementation proposal of the MSAT in fall 2020 Any WASC substantive change will be managed by the DepartmentProgram in guidance and consultation with CSULB Academic Affairs and the campus WASC liaison to assure compliance

Accreditation Note

Masterrsquos degree program proposals

If subject to accreditation establishment of a masterrsquos degree program should

be preceded by national professional accreditation of the corresponding

bachelorrsquos degree major program

5 Societal and Public Need for the Proposed Degree Major Program

a List other California State University campuses currently offering or

projecting the proposed degree major program list neighboring institutions

public and private currently offering the proposed degree major program

At the time of writing this proposal no CSU institution offers the Master of Science in Athletic Training CSU At its March 2016 meeting the CSU Board of Trustees approved adding this program projection (Masters of Science in Athletic Training MSAT) to the campus academic plan for CSU Fullerton and CSU Fresno CSU Long Beach was added to the CSU program projection in March 2017 and CSU Northridge in March 2018 As of this writing CSU Fullerton has submitted an implementation proposal to the CO and the CSU Long Beach CSU Fresno and CSU Northridge implementation proposals are in its respective campus curriculum review process It is speculated that other CSUrsquos with current undergraduate accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) may submit masterrsquos proposals in the future (CSU Sacramento San Diego State University and San Jose State University) Private Institutions The following private institutions currently offer the Masters of Athletic Training California Baptist University and Azusa Pacific University As of this writing these private institutions are the only California

MSAT ndash CSULB 32

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

educational institutions for California students to attend to earn the professional Masters in Athletic Training degree

b Describe differences between the proposed program and programs listed in

Section 5a above

CSU It is speculated that all CSUrsquos submitting a proposal to implement the Masters of Science in Athletic Training will be similar in structure curriculum and time to degree as part of The CSU System Private Institutions In reference to California Baptist University (CBU) and Azusa Pacific University (APU) Each program awards the Master of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (13-20 students) is a full time residential program (SS F W S SS F S) prerequisite units are 30 and 14 respectfully the degree units range from 57-63 applied or thesisproject or evidence-base practice serves as the culminating experience and total program costs (tuition and fees) range from $40000-$55300 CSULB The Athletic Training Program projects awarding the Masters of Science in Athletic Training is cohort based (~25) a four semester program (F S F S) approximately 40 prerequisite units the degree units are 55 the applied research project in athletic training is the culminating experience and projected total program (tuition and fees) cost is estimated for resident at ~$22000 and non-resident at ~$43000

c List other curricula currently offered by the campus that are closely related to

the proposed program

No other curricula are offered by the campus that is closely related to the proposed program Please note that physical therapy and athletic training are uniquely different to their respective degree and clinical practice settings Educationally the physical therapy degree is identified as a clinical Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) whereas the athletic training is the Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Following the degree and program development the Athletic Training Program conferred with the Physical Therapy Department for curricular transparency research opportunities and collegial professionalism The DPT Program provided input regarding the curriculum and potential ldquograyrdquo areas but in general supported the continued program development The DPT Program provided a statement of support (See Appendix C)

d Describe community participation if any in the planning process This may

include prospective employers of graduates

MSAT ndash CSULB 33

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

The CSULB Athletic Training Program since May 2015 has consulted with its professional clinical preceptors educational clinical partners and colleagues in the department college academic affairs and with the accreditation agency in making the decision to move forward with the program transition from undergraduate to masters In addition the CSULB Athletic Training Program conducted nationwide program analysis of athletic training masters programs related to structure curriculum and cost The same studies were conducted locally

e Provide applicable workforce demand projections and other relevant data

Note Data Sources for Demonstrating Evidence of Need

APP Resources Web httpwwwcalstateeduappresourcesshtml

US Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics

California Labor Market Information

Demand for full-time athletic trainers as healthcare first responders is

projected to increase as society becomes more of aware of the risks

associated with sports-related injuries particularly in youth athletes

Some factors that influence this projection is 1) recent research about the

long term effectoutcome of mild-traumatic brain injury (mTBI)

(concussions) identified in high school or college or professional athletes

2) state legislative action to require athletic trainers in secondary schools

3) state legislative actionlaws regarding return-to-play guidelines

following injury 4) didactic and clinical advancements 5) insurance and

workersrsquo compensation costs and 6) professional opportunities for

growth in a more active middle-aged and elderly population

Athletic trainers are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic

Trainers Educational settings such as colleges universities elementary

schools and secondary schools serve as the primary work place for

athletic trainers while additional settings include the military law

enforcement performing arts hospitals fitness centers industrial

settings physiciansrsquo offices club and recreational sports or professional

teams States with the highest level of employment of athletic trainers in

ranked order are Texas California Pennsylvania Illinois and Ohio

According to the occupational employment statistics from the Bureau of

Labor Statistics by geographic metropolitan area the Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale CA Metropolitan area is ranked seventh nationwide with

MSAT ndash CSULB 34

the highest employment level of athletic trainers at annual mean wage of

$48670

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

MSAT ndash CSULB 35

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

Other Relevant Societal Needs

National data shows that athletic training programs attract more women (57) than men However the discipline is predominately white (76) with most of the underrepresented minorities earning a degree in athletic training from educational institutions in the western United States Since spring 2012 the CSULB undergraduate program in athletic training average composition is 50 female50 male of which is 39 White and 61 underrepresented minorities (28 Hispanic 22 Asian 8 Two or more races 2 Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander and 1 Black) The CSULB Athletic Training Programs demographics are significantly more diverse than national statistics

6 Student Demand

a Provide compelling evidence of student interest in enrolling in the proposed

program Types of evidence vary and may include (for example) national

statewide and professional employment forecasts and surveys petitions lists

of related associate degree programs at feeder community colleges reports

from community college transfer centers and enrollments from feeder

baccalaureate programs

As previously stated the Athletic Training Strategic Alliance has established that the minimum professional athletic training degree and eligibility for the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers (BOC) will be at the masterrsquos level only After the start of the Fall 2022 term baccalaureate athletic training programs may not admit enroll or matriculate students into the athletic training program Some athletic training programs will have implemented program discontinuance teach-out andor transitioned to the masterrsquos Attrition in the overall total number of educational institutions offering the professional degree in athletic training is expected

Student demand for the proposed CSULB program is expected to remain

high due to 1) undergraduate athletic training programs nationwide

will be discontinued 2) the decision by some educational institutions not

to implement a masters in athletic training 3) total number of graduate

program offerings in AT is less overall than undergraduate programs 4)

potential applicant pool is no longer state limited but nationally

accessible and 5) type and level of masterrsquos program offered at a large

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

b Describe facilities that would be used in support of the proposed program

The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will utilize the existing space of KIN-083 Athletic Training Laboratory to support its lecture and laboratory needs This KIN-083 space is a department designated space that is currently occupied by the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training program The space size is 1662 square feet which is adequate to support class instruction laboratory experience and storage for instructional materials equipment and supplies The MSAT will continue its formal clinical education partnerships with preceptors (~30) in regional community colleges physical therapy clinics high schools private institutions and medical facilities to provide clinical experiences in which students apply knowledge and clinical skills learned in class instruction

MSAT ndash CSULB 42

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

public masterrsquos college and university

The below table represents program data for undergraduate student demand for

CSULB native and transfer (California Community College) students who met

CSULB admission criteria and apply to the Athletic Training Program Since

announcement (May 20 2015) by the NATA Strategic Alliance that the

professional degree in Athletic Training will be at the Masterrsquos level only

undergraduate students at their career point are considering the impact of

degree level and credentials on whether to seek admission to a current

undergraduate athletic training program or change majors and earn their

intended career degree and credentials at the mastersrsquo level First evidence of

this thought process is evident in the change in number of undergraduate

applications received by the program at the continuing and transfer levels in Fall

2016 as students entering higher education for athletic training give

consideration to the need of a masterrsquos to enter the field of athletic training

b Describe facilities that would be used in support of the proposed program

The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will utilize the existing space of KIN-083 Athletic Training Laboratory to support its lecture and laboratory needs This KIN-083 space is a department designated space that is currently occupied by the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training program The space size is 1662 square feet which is adequate to support class instruction laboratory experience and storage for instructional materials equipment and supplies The MSAT will continue its formal clinical education partnerships with preceptors (~30) in regional community colleges physical therapy clinics high schools private institutions and medical facilities to provide clinical experiences in which students apply knowledge and clinical skills learned in class instruction

MSAT ndash CSULB 42

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

b Describe facilities that would be used in support of the proposed program

The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will utilize the existing space of KIN-083 Athletic Training Laboratory to support its lecture and laboratory needs This KIN-083 space is a department designated space that is currently occupied by the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training program The space size is 1662 square feet which is adequate to support class instruction laboratory experience and storage for instructional materials equipment and supplies The MSAT will continue its formal clinical education partnerships with preceptors (~30) in regional community colleges physical therapy clinics high schools private institutions and medical facilities to provide clinical experiences in which students apply knowledge and clinical skills learned in class instruction

MSAT ndash CSULB 42

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

b Describe facilities that would be used in support of the proposed program

The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program will utilize the existing space of KIN-083 Athletic Training Laboratory to support its lecture and laboratory needs This KIN-083 space is a department designated space that is currently occupied by the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training program The space size is 1662 square feet which is adequate to support class instruction laboratory experience and storage for instructional materials equipment and supplies The MSAT will continue its formal clinical education partnerships with preceptors (~30) in regional community colleges physical therapy clinics high schools private institutions and medical facilities to provide clinical experiences in which students apply knowledge and clinical skills learned in class instruction

MSAT ndash CSULB 42

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

c Provide evidence that the institution provides adequate access to both

electronic and physical library and learning resources

On June 20 2017 the CSULB University Library along with the other 22 CSU campus libraries will switch to a new library management system This will include changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources

As part of this collaboration and resource sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ This new management system provides unlimited electronic and print educational opportunities In recent addition the University Library now offers access to the Swank Digital Campus a new streaming movie platform Access to both electronic and physical library and learning resources an individual must be faculty staff enrolled student or administrator at CSULB to access our research databases and use many of the librarys services from off site In addition on-campus accesses to some services are restricted to CSULB faculty staff and enrolled students In addition to supporting the instructional and research needs of the CSULB faculty students staff and administrators the University Library also fills a role as a community resource by providing variety of library services to CSULB Alumni CSU Alumni CSU and Community Colleges community Long Beach Area Schools and Libraries and visitors Please see the following website for detailed information on access to the university library services httpseditcsulbeduuniversity-libraryuniversity-library-services Please see Appendix J for the information on the availability of library resources at CSULB and the Unified Library Management System (CSU) for access to print or electronic books and periodicals data bases and online resources that provide program access and support

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

8 Additional Support Resources Required

Note If additional support resources will be needed to implement and maintain the

program a statement by the responsible administrator(s) should be attached to the

proposal assuring that such resources will be provided

a Describe additional faculty or staff support positions needed to implement the

proposed program

Additional faculty positions are not needed at this time to implement the proposed program Existing faculty resources are sufficient However a third athletic training core faculty will be needed by July 1 2023 to be in compliance with the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards To satisfy accreditation Standard 41 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively within the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess to address this need (see faculty explanation below)

MSAT ndash CSULB 44

The program does not anticipate the need for additional staff support positions Accreditation changes for professional athletic training programs discontinue the offering of undergraduate degrees and establish the Masterrsquos degree as the level for the professional degree in athletic training Standard 20 of the CAATE Standards for Professional Programs states ldquoProfessional programs result in the granting of masterrsquos degree in athletic training The program must be identifies as an athletic training degree in university publicationsrdquo (CAATE 2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional Athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) This MSAT program supports the campus college and departmentrsquos mission and student learning outcomes It will not impede the successful operation and growth of existing academic programs Discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon teach-out will redirect its existing resources to the successful operation and growth of the MSAT Faculty Explanation CAATE has adopted new operation and curriculum standards effective in July 1 2020 The CSULB Athletic Training Programrsquos next accreditation review is scheduled for AY 2020-2021 the self-study is due July 1 2020 followed with a site visit in fall 2020 or spring 2021 The program will be reviewed according to the 2020 CAATE accreditation standards Standard 41 of the new CAATE Accreditation Standards states ldquoProgram Faculty members are sufficient to meet the needs of the athletic training program and must include a minimum of three core faculty (2020 Standards for Accreditation of Professional athletic Training Programs Masterrsquos Degree Programs Adoption Date January 9 2018 Effective date July 1 2020) Annotation Program faculty may include core faculty associated faculty and adjunct faculty The needs of the program include advising and mentoring students meeting program outcomes scholarship program administration recruiting and admissions and offering courses on a regular and planned basis Programs are required to have sufficient numbers of faculty to meet the needs of the athletic training program by the date of the implementation of

MSAT ndash CSULB 45

these standards Compliance with the requirement that the program has a minimum of three core faculty is required after July 1 2023 Current CAATE Standards for Accreditation (2012) require a minimum of two core faculty (Standard 30) The Athletic Training program is in compliance with Standard 30 It has two core athletic training faculty Existing core faculty is sufficient for implementation of the MSAT To be in compliance with CAATE Standard 41 by July 1 2023 the Athletic Training Program is working collaboratively with the department and college recruitment and hiring frameworkprocess for a tenure-track position in athletic training The Athletic Training Program has the ability to support the addition of a third AT tenure-track faculty member with the workload conversion of athletic training lecturer teaching assignments As a reminder the MSAT must be in compliance with Standard 41 by July 1 2023 For faculty search requests in AY 2018-2019 two tenure-track position requests (1-Athletic Training and 2-Exercise Science-Motor Control) from the Kinesiology Department have been submitted to the College Dean for consideration

b Describe the amount of additional lecture andor laboratory space required to

initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years Indicate any

additional special facilities that will be required If the space is under

construction what is the projected occupancy date If the space is planned

indicate campus-wide priority of the facility capital outlay program priority

and projected date of occupancy Major capital outlay construction projects

are those projects whose total cost is $610000 or more (as adjusted pursuant

to Cal Pub Cont Code sectsect 10705(a) 10105 and 10108)

The MSAT Program does not project the need for additional lecture andor laboratory space to initiate and to sustain the program over the next five years It can exist effectively in the space it is currently assigned (see 7b)

c Include a report written in consultation with the campus librarian which

indicates any necessary library resources not available through the CSU

library system Indicate the commitment of the campus to purchase these

additional resources

Item 7b describes the library resources and Appendix J contains information on the availability of library resources available via the CSU new library management system This includes changes to circulation accounts resource sharing access to books and articles and more This new Unified Library Management System (ULMS) will allow the entire CSU system to better collaborate and share resources As part of this collaboration and resource

MSAT ndash CSULB 46

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs

sharing a new discovery system known as ldquoOneSearchrdquo improves access to electronic and print materials across all 23 campuses This gives faculty staff and studentsrsquo access to resources at any campus via the CSU Library Network in which requests for material at any CSU Library can be made through the CSU+ As a result the MSAT library resources will be more than adequately met

d Indicate additional academic technology equipment or specialized materials

that will be (1) needed to implement the program and (2) needed during the

first two years after initiation Indicate the source of funds and priority to

secure these resource needs

All materials related to academic technology equipment or specialized materials in the undergraduate athletic training program will be refocused into the MSAT As a result additional materials are not anticipated to implement the program or needed during the first two years of initiation As expected with rapid ongoing evolving academic technology equipment or specialized materials a refresh beginning in Year 3 maybe necessary to remain contemporary The source of funding and resources will be through normal program budget various grants various research opportunities and vendor supported educational programs
