UE’s Professional Athletic Training Program Earns Five Year Accreditation
The program is now one of only five schools in the country that has an accredited program at both the master’s and bachelor’s level*
The University of Evansville’s Professional Athletic Training Program has been granted five-year accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) with the next comprehensive review occurring during the 2021-22 academic year.
UE hosted a site visit with a CAATE review team in January 2017 after an intense period of self-study, which began in the fall of 2015, and a self-study application that was submitted June 1, 2016. The site visit team reviewed extensive reports and interviewed members of the athletic training team to evaluate and verify the institution’s ongoing ability to meet the standards for accreditation.
The UE athletic training program is now one of only five schools in the country that has an accredited program at both the master’s level and bachelor’s level, giving students options for pursuing their athletic training degrees.
The athletic training program utilizes three universities and colleges, three out-patient rehabilitation clinics, and eleven high schools to provide their students with clinical placements within the Evansville area.
Kathy Liu, PhD, ATC, program director, states, “We are very proud of our programs here at UE. With a successful undergraduate program and a growing graduate program, gaining this accreditation will allow us to provide additional opportunities for students deciding on their career aspirations.â€
“We recognize the faculty, staff, and administrators at the University of Evansville for their commitment to the advancement of education in athletic training, as well as the dedication to the preparation of qualified athletic training professionals,†said a representative from CAATE.
The University of Evansville is the smallest Division I CAATE-accredited school in the country. Athletic training students are challenged with rigorous course work and hands-on experiences, such as their involvement with UE’s Division I athletic programs, from their first week on campus. University of Evansville athletic training students have the flexibility to explore many branches of study and develop diverse skill sets through the athletic training, physical therapist assistant, pre-physician assistant, pre-med and Doctor of Physical Therapy-combination degree programs.

The 22nd-ranked University of Southern Indiana baseball team completed a four-game and doubleheader sweep of University of Indianapolis on Senior Day, 5-0 and 15-10, Monday afternoon at the USI Baseball Field. USI watched its record go to 29-16 overall and 19-5 in the GLVC, while UIndy goes to 25-21, 9-15 GLVC.
The Screaming Eagles end the day with a one-game lead in the GLVC East Division and four games to play in the 2017 conference regular season. Bellarmine University (31-15, 18-6) follows USI by one game in second, while the University of Illinois Springfield (29-17, 17-7 GLVC) trails by two games in third. USI holds the tie-breaker with Illinois Springfield, while Bellarmine holds the tie-breaker over the Eagles.
The Screaming Eagles cruised to a 5-0 shutout victory in the opener. USI scored three in the first before sealing the victory with a tally in both the second and sixth frames.
USI junior third baseman Sam Griggs (Evansville, Indiana) ignited the Eagles’ offensive attack in the first inning with a two-run single and scoring for the 3-0 lead. Griggs finished the opener two-for-three with two runs scored and two RBIs.
The complete-game shutout victory went to junior right-handed starter Kyle Griffin (Morganfield, Kentucky). Griffin (5-3) scattered three hits and a walk, while striking out nine over the seven innings of work.
In a marathon slugfest in the second game, Griggs and junior leftfielder Drake McNamara (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) combined for eight RBIs as the Eagles defeated the Greyhounds, 15-10.
Griggs, who finished the day with six RBIs in the two games, contributed a total of seven runs in the nightcap, scoring three times and driving in the four RBIs. McNamara’s bat exploded for three hits, two runs, four RBIs, a double, and his team-best eighth home run of the year in game two.
The Eagles, as a team, scored two in the first, three in the third, one in the fourth, seven in the fifth, and two in the eighth for their 15 runs. The Greyhounds tried to rally in the last four innings, shrinking a 10-run Eagles’ lead to five, before senior right-hander Justin Watts (Bryan, Ohio) got the final out for his team-best seventh save of the season.
On the mound, sophomore right-hander Austin Krizan (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) went six innings to get his fourth victory of the season. Krizan (4-1) allowed five runs on six hits and two walks, striking out two.
The Eagles conclude the 2017 regular season on the road May 5-7 when they visit Saint Joseph’s College for the final time. First pitches Friday and Saturday are set for 3 p.m., while Sunday doubleheader is slated for noon.
