Per CAATE Accreditation Standards , all athletic training programs are required to report official program outcomes, including rates for Program Retention, Graduation, national Board of Certification (BOC) 1st-time Pass, and Employment. A summary of this information is located in the tables below. Additional stats for the Ithaca College Athletic Training Program can be found at the CAATE Program Information and Outcomes site.
CAATE Accreditation Status & Program Outcomes
Program Retention Rate
The number of students enrolled in the professional program & the percentage who return (in good standing) to the program the following academic year.
| 2018 – 19 | 2019 – 20 | 2020 - 21 | 2021 – 22 | 2022 - 23 | 2023 - 24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Graduation Rate
The number of senior students (%) enrolled in the professional program who graduated within 150% of "normal time" for their projected graduation year (excludes students with medical leave of absence or deceased).
| 2018 – 19 | 2019 – 20 | 2020 - 21 | 2021 – 22 | 2022 - 23 | 2023 - 24 | 3 year aggregate |

BOC Pass Rate: A Legacy of Sustained Excellence
One of the most important factors for determining the success for an Athletic Training program is 1st-time pass ratefor the Board of Certification for the Athletic Trainer (BOC) exam. The BOC awards successful candidates with the Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) credential. Without this credential, you cannot practice as an athletic trainer.
Ithaca College graduates boast an impressive 1st-time pass rate legacy. Our 3-year aggregate is 96% and our 10-year aggregate pass rate is 99% . The 3-year aggregate national average is only 72%.
This BOC pass rate legacy is a reflection of a curriculum that is purposefully designed under best-practices in medical education.
