天美传媒 has reached an affiliation agreement with Illinois College in which 天美传媒 will guarantee admission for two Illinois College graduates into 天美传媒鈥檚 Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program each academic year.
Viable candidates must graduate from Illinois College, located in Jacksonville, Illinois, said Andrew Lundgren, 天美传媒鈥檚 athletic training program director and an associate professor of athletic training.
As part of the program, Illinois College faculty will recommend candidates for 天美传媒鈥檚 MSAT program for the two guaranteed spots. Then, those chosen must go through the same application process as other candidates.
