TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY CURRICULUM GUIDES
The transfer opportunity curriculum guides in this
section should be regarded as advisory only. They have
been developed by the faculty and staff of Shelton State
Community College to assist students in making decisions
on which courses to select and are based on the best information available. In developing these curriculum guides
and the recommendations contained therein, the Shelton
State Community College faculty and staff consulted the
Ratified Discipline Templates and the Transfer Guides
available on the AGSC/STARS Home Page on the World
Wide Web, http://stars.troyst.edu. Shelton State officials
also consulted the catalogs of various senior institutions
to which students from the College historically have transferred in large numbers. In fact, most of the curriculum
guides which follow have been designed for students
who will transfer to the University of Alabama. Some of
the curriculum guides for programs in allied health are
designed for students who wish to transfer to the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Students who wish
to transfer should consult the catalog of the institution to
which they plan to transfer and should also consult the
material available on the AGSC/STARS Home Page when
they select courses.

ATHLETIC TRAINING
Admission to Athletic Training programs is highly
competitive. Students should refer to the appropriate institution’s catalog or web page for admission requirements
and application procedures. Many Athletic Training programs require a set number of residency and observation
hours that cannot be attained at the community or junior
college level. These requirements may force a student to
extend the time in which it takes to complete the degree
requirement. In addition, at the end of the program, students must take and pass a board exam in order to become
certified in Athletic Training. STUDENTS INTERESTED
IN THIS PROGRAM SHOULD CONTACT THE INSTITUTION TO WHICH THEY PLAN TO TRANSFER AS
EARLY IN THE FRESHMAN YEAR AS POSSIBLE FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. NOTE: Admission to the
Athletic Training Program is very competitive. Refer to the
appropriate institution’s catalog or webpage for admission
requirements and application procedures.
