An Overview of NUMSS Admissions to Master of Science in Athletic Therapy MSc (AT) Program
Thank you for your interest in the accredited, 100% online Master of Science in Athletic Therapy degree- MSc (AT) program of National University of Medical Sciences (Spain). All the athletic therapy classes are pre-recoded English language video lectures available at our online video server. This athletic therapy degree program is offered online but for those students who wish to practice practical techniques under supervision of a clinician we offer the choice of attending the optional week long practical athletic therapy techniques review in a number of locations such as the United States, Spain and Panama. The practical lab is not part of the MSc (AT) program and students can graduate without attending the in-person class.
Our MSc (AT) degree is accepted in most countries as it is evaluated and approved by the California University Foreign Credential Evaluation (FCE) and Validation Corp (in New York). The AT degree is also legalized by the Spain Ministry of External Affairs and Spain Ministry of Justice.
The NUMSS MSc (AT) program is accredited by the International Board of Certified Athletic Therapists (IBCAT) and alumni can join the association to become a Certified Athletic Therapist with the ability to charge some private health insurers that cover athletic therapy services.
Students from most other countries are eligible to use the tuition of this athletic therapy program as a business expense to reduce their annual business income tax as NUMSS is accepted as a foreign university by many tax authorities including the IRS in the United States and CRA in Canada.
Why Choose Athletic Therapy?

Athletic Therapists works with physicians and other medical personnel, employers, patients, parents, guardians, and athletic personnel in the development and coordination of efficient and responsive health care delivery systems.

Athletic Therapists may also open their own health clinics or health clubs.
