ADDITIONAL MSAT PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

  1. The Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) Program at King’s College is a rigorous and intense program that places specific requirements and demands on students. One of the objectives of the program is to prepare graduates to enter a variety of employment settings and to render care to a wide spectrum of individuals engaged in physical activity. The technical standards set forth by the program establish the essential qualities that are considered necessary for students to achieve the knowledge, skills, and competencies of an entry-level athletic trainer. A candidate for the MSAT Program must meet the following abilities and expectations. The following are required, with or without reasonable accommodations:
    1. The mental capacity to assimilate, analyze, synthesize, integrate concepts and problem solve to formulate assessment and therapeutic judgments and to be able to distinguish deviations from the norm.
    2. Sufficient postural and neuromuscular control, sensory function, and coordination to perform appropriate physical examinations using accepted techniques; and accurately, safely and efficiently use equipment and materials during the assessment and treatment of patients.
    3. The ability to communicate effectively and sensitively with patients and colleagues, including individuals from different cultural and social backgrounds. This includes, but is not limited to, the ability to establish rapport with patients and communicate judgments and treatment information effectively. Students must be able to understand and speak the English language at a level consistent with competent professional practice.
    4. The ability to record the physical examination results and a treatment plan clearly and accurately.
    5. The capacity to maintain composure and continue to function well during periods of high stress.
    6. The perseverance, diligence, and commitment to complete the Professional Phase as outlined and sequenced.
    7. Flexibility and the ability to adjust to changing situations and uncertainty in clinical situations.
    8. Affective skills and appropriate demeanor and rapport that relate to professional education and quality patient care.

      Candidates for selection to the MSAT Program are required to verify they understand and meet these technical standards or that they believe they can meet the standards with reasonable accommodations.

      The King’s College Academic Skills Center will evaluate a candidate who states that they could meet the program’s technical standards with reasonable accommodations and confirm that the stated condition qualifies as a disability under applicable laws.

      If a candidate states that they can meet the technical standards with reasonable accommodations, the College will determine whether it agrees that the candidate can meet the technical standards with reasonable accommodations. This will include a review of whether the accommodations requested are reasonable, taking into account whether the accommodations would jeopardize clinician/patient safety or the educational process of the student or the College, including all coursework, clinical experiences, and other educational experiences deemed essential to graduation.

      The King’s College MSAT Program complies with federal, state, and institutional guidelines regarding applicants with disabilities.

  2. During the summer session of the first year of the MSAT Program, all students will be required to complete the following background checks: Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance, Pennsylvania State Police Request for Criminal History Record Check, and Federal Criminal History Record Information. Students may be required to complete all three clearances again prior to starting the second year of the MSAT Program. All costs incurred in complying with this requirement are the responsibility of the student. Students who do not have clear background checks may be dismissed from the MSAT Program.
  3. All students in the MSAT Program must assume responsibility for their own transportation to clinical education sites. Students are expected to own a vehicle that can provide reliable and consistent transportation. Students are responsible for all expenses related to travel to clinical education sites.
  4. All students in the MSAT Program are required to have the following vaccinations, which are recommended for healthcare workers by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov/vaccines/adults/rec-vac/hcw.html):
    • Chickenpox vaccine (varicella)
    • Flu vaccine (influenza)
    • Hepatitis B vaccine
    • MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella)
    • Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough) or Td (tetanus and diphtheria)

      All vaccinations must be up-to-date and/or in progress (if a series) with the exception of the flu vaccine (influenza). Students who did not get a flu vaccine prior to entry in the MSAT Program will still be eligible for entry. All students must get a flu vaccination in the fall of Year 1 and Year 2.

      Students must present proof of current immunizations during the summer session of the first year of the MSAT Program and must maintain all immunizations throughout the MSAT Program. Students are responsible for the cost of all immunizations. Some clinical sites may require additional immunizations and titers which students must obtain prior to starting rotations at those sites. Information regarding these additional requirements will be given to students prior to starting rotations. Students who fail to comply with additional immunizations and titers for clinical rotations may be denied access to hospitals, schools, and other clinical rotation sites. This may affect their ability to complete the MSAT Program. Students are responsible for the cost of any additional immunizations and titers.
  5. All students in the MSAT Program may require tuberculosis (TB) surveillance. Students will be notified if they require surveillance for their clincal rotation(s). Surveillance will be arranged with the King’s College Student Health Center. Students who fail to comply with TB surveillance may be denied access to hospitals, schools, and other clinical rotation sites. This may affect their ability to complete the MSAT Program.
  6. All students in the MSAT Program must have a laptop computer with wireless internet capability. Students may use a PC or Apple computer. Students are responsible for having a computer with the necessary processing power and functionality to meet program requirements and complete all academic and clinical requirements. Tablet computers (e.g., Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy, etc.) are NOT recommended as they are not likely to have the necessary processing power and functionality. Students must be able to run the Google Chrome web browser application on their computer due to its compatibility with our online program management system.

of: Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Immunology, Microbiology, Phlebotomy, Transfusion Medicine, Renal Analysis.


**Strongly recommended; at least 2 Core courses should be completed during summers to allow for recommended course completions. A student must complete the Core and all required sequences at King's (90 credits in three years) before being eligible to enter the Hospital-based internship (fourth year).


SENIOR YEAR: (INTERNSHIP)
Students eligible for the fourth year, by virtue of having completed the preceding courses satisfactorily, may apply for admission to an A.S.C.P. certified school of Clinical Laboratories Science/Medical Technology. CLS/Med Tech internships are competitive and are dependent on the student’s academic record and success in the interview process. The hospital is responsible for final selection. The College does not, in accepting applicants into the program, in any way assure acceptance into this phase of the program. It is the responsibility of the student, not the College, to both seek and gain admittance into an internship program. However, the College will assist the student in every way toward these placements.

AT 420 and AT 425 will include required clinical experiences that are non-immersive,
meaning that students will take other courses while also completing the clinical experiences.
These clinical experiences will be in a variety of settings. Clinical experiences will typically
begin in early August (several weeks prior to the start of the fall semester), will continue across
the entire academic year (which may include during breaks), and will typically end in May.

** AT 520 will include required clinical experiences that are immersive. Immersive experiences
are practice-intensive and allow the student to experience the totality of care provided by athletic
trainers. Students do not take other courses during immersive experiences. Clinical experiences
will occur on the following schedule:

  • 3 weeks of immersive clinical experiences prior to the start of the semester (typically
    August)
  • 4 weeks of immersive clinical experiences in the first half of the semester (typically August/September)
  • 8 weeks of no clinical experiences (typically September/October/November); all other courses will be taken at this time
  • 4 weeks of immersive experiences in the second half of the semester (typically November/December

Nursing

1+2+1 Nursing Program

Our Dual Degrees in Nursing Program in partnership with Luzerne County Community College (LCCC) offers high school students a seamless and unique route to earning a BS in nursing in just four years.

You will earn their Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) Degree in Nursing at LCCC by the end of your third year, which allows you to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) one year earlier than traditional nursing programs. As a result, you can work as a registered nurse in your fourth year while you complete your remaining nursing courses entirely online, which is an advantage no other program in our region provides!

You will spend most of your first and fourth years at King's completing the general education and upper-level nursing degree requirements. While you'll take King's core courses during your second and third years, you will spend most of this time at laboratory and clinical courses located at the main LCCC Nanticoke campus or its downtown Wilkes-Barre campus, located just steps away from King's.

However, you can participate in King's NCAA sports and live on the King's campus throughout the entirety of the dual degree nursing program!

To be eligible for the King's and LCCC nursing dual degree nursing program, students must meet the following minimum admission requirements:

  • C or better Algebra II/Trigonometry level
  • C or better in Chemistry
  • C or better in Biology
  • A minimum cumulative high school GPA of 2.75
  • Endorsement of his/her high school
  • Students must not have been suspended or dismissed for any reason.
  • Candidates must pass the TOEFL exam with a 90% or better if English is not their native language. The passing score on the TOEFL will vary depending on the type of exam you take (internet based, computer based, or paper and pencil). TOEFL scores must be submitted within the application deadline. If you have a bachelor's degree from a U.S. college or university, you do not need to take the TOEFL

To move into year two of the BS dual degree program and begin the LCCC clinical phase, students must:

  • Pass the TEAS exam by December 1st of their first year (see below). Students shall have two opportunities to receive a passing grade.
  • Achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 by the end of their first Fall semester
  • Secure admission to the LCCC program by December 20th
  • Meet the Health Science Admissions Background

1+2+1 nursing program students should verify they've met all criteria by March 15 of their first year. All students admitted to the program who meet the matriculation requirements will be permitted to continue into the LCCC phase of the nursing program.

Transfer students must fill out an Application for Internal Transfer or Change of Major. Students must meet all high school criteria and have a college GPA of 2.75. Admission is competitive and based on available seats.

RN to BS in Nursing

If you are a registered nurse from an accredited associate or diploma degree program with evidence of licensure in Pennsylvania, you are eligible to apply to our RN to BS program at King's College.

The best part is nursing courses will be online, so you can complete the curriculum while still working as a nurse.

You can also get a jump start on your RN to BS degree through transfer and advanced placement. In fact, after registering for your first course with King's, you may qualify for up to 35 advanced placement credits for nursing course work completed in a state-approved, nationally accredited associate degree or diploma nursing program.

After a transcript evaluation has been completed, you will then complete the necessary King's core credits along with 26 credits of course work in the professional nursing major.

Applicants are considered on an on-going basis. In addition to successful completion of course work, the following are required for admission:

  • Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00
  • Official transcripts from previously attended accredited schools, colleges, or universities
  • Evidence of RN licensure
  • Health physical, immunizations, vaccines, urine drug screen, and background checks
  • RN to BS in nursing candidates must pass the TOEFL exam with a 90% or better if English is not their native language. The passing score on the TOEFL will vary depending on the type of exam you take (internet based, computer based, or paper and pencil). TOEFL scores must be submitted within the application deadline. If you have a bachelor's degree from a U.S. college or university, you do not need to take the TOEFL.

Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing Hybrid (ABSN-H) program

We offer an accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing Hybrid (ABSN-H) program to students who have completed a bachelor's degree in a subject other than in nursing. This rapid-paced program allows graduates to take the NCLEX-RN and begin working as registered nurses in just one year.

This program's hybrid component allows students to work alongside other nursing students and faculty. Our curriculum is carefully crafted to help you understand, apply, and retain the didactic and clinical information you need for success in this field.

In addition, you'll benefit from a hybrid schedule that incorporates both online and on-campus learning opportunities and our state-of-the-art lab. We'll also give you access to community and agency-based clinical experiences, as well as the latest in professional simulation programs.

NUTRITION PHILOSOPHIES

Throughout our curriculum, we teach and model the Total Diet Approach, which is the notion that the overall dietary pattern of foods eaten is the most important focus. This means that everything a person eats “averages out” over time, and the combination of all food and drink is what gives people energy and nutrients to meet their individual needs.

This also means that all foods can fit in a balanced dietary pattern. There are no good foods or bad foods: just foods. Foods have no moral value.

Body acceptance and inclusivity are important, as well as being aware of implicit weight bias. We need to respect different body sizes and shapes and understand that body weight has no moral value and is not the only health status indicator.

Nutrition Science 5-Year* (B.S. / M.S.N.S.)

The Holy Cross Experience course introduces first-year students to the essential elements and foundations of a King’s College education. HCE 101 focuses on the concept of the “Vocation of a Student” with an eye toward a “Vocation for Life.” To understand and actively engage what it means to be a student at King’s provides a strong foundation for a student’s future vocation. By vocation King’s does not mean simply a career trajectory, but a life trajectory. The foundational questions of who am I, what type of person do I desire to be, and to what values, beliefs or causes will I dedicate my life form the horizon for engagement in this course.

The Holy Cross Experience course is an introduction to the mission and history of King’s, and an exploration of the practices and habits that enable academic success, personal growth, ethical decision making, and positive social engagement.

The course helps students transition to the demands and unique opportunities of college life and to understand the liberal arts foundation of a King’s College education. It provides an immediate connection other first-year students in an environment marked by mutual support and frank and honest conversations able college success.

Tracks
In an effort to provide students with suggestions for a logical, coherent, and economical use of elective credits the Department of Political Science has created a series of “tracks” or “areas of emphasis”, to assist students in their course of study. While the department strongly encourages the student to follow one or more tracks, adherence to a track or tracks is not necessary for the completion of a major or minor in political science. Areas of emphasis include:

  • American Government, Public Policy, and Administration
  • Comparative Politics and International Relations
  • Law and the Courts
  • Political Theory

Pre-Health

A successful candidate to a clinical professional program must demonstrate academic excellence, successful performance on the MCAT, DAT, OAT or GRE, have meaningful shadowing experiences, and be involved in service and campus activities. Students are also highly encouraged to pursue a meaningful research experience.  What is the best major for Pre-Health?  There is no best major.  

You must take the following King’s College courses to satisfy the requirements for Pre-Med or Pre-Dental.  Professional programs for other clinical careers will vary with respect to their pre-requisites, but these courses often provide a good foundation for any pre-health profession.

(* pre-med only):

       Biology: 3 semesters with labs (BIO 113, BIO 210, BIO 213)

       Chemistry: 4 semesters with labs (CHEM 113, CHEM 114, CHEM 241, CHEM 242)

       Physics: 2 semesters with labs  (PHYS 111, PHYS 112)

       Calculus (MATH 125) or another college MATH course if you took calculus in high school

       English: 2 semesters (CORE 16x, CORE 110)

       Biochemistry (BIO 353), Bio224 is NOT a pre-health course

       Psychology* (Intro Psych)

       Sociology* (Intro Soc)

As long as you satisfy these criteria, you can major in any subject.  We suggest you select a major that you find interesting.  While many Pre-Health students do opt for majors in Biology, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, and Chemistry, we have students who successfully complete the pre-health requirements while pursuing a wide variety of majors.  

If you choose to adopt a second major or minor, choose a subject that complements (but does NOT overlap) your current major.
