Program Information

Sheridan’s Athletic Therapy program was founded in 1973 and was the first program of its kind in Canada. Now, over 30 years later, it still leads the nation in sports injury education with its four-year applied degree in Athletic Therapy. The Bachelor of Applied Health Sciences (Athletic Therapy) is specifically designed to provide graduates with the knowledge, skills and experiences necessary to become a certified Athletic Therapist with the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association.

The strength of Sheridan’s program lies in the commitment of the faculty to enhancing the growth and quality of Athletic Therapy education in Canada. Our faculty have advanced degrees in the areas of rehabilitation science, biomechanics and physiology, as well as extensive experience working in the field. Many have served on sports medicine teams for many national and international sporting events.

Sheridan’s program is completed in four years. A three-year direct entry opportunity  for qualified students entering the program with a degree in Kinesiology, Physical Education or Health Sciences from an accredited Canadian university is also available.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Sheridan students for the past nine years through the Athletic Therapy Internship Program. Each year students exhibit qualities of professionalism, dedication, moral and ethical responsibility, and pride. The passion of the professors is the most unique thing about Sheridan. Due to their dedication, parents and students can be sure that they are being guided through the curriculum by people who care about them as individuals, not as numbers.”
