- Students are admitted second semester, sophomore year, after working 3-6 hours per week in the training room under the mentoring of juniors and seniors and faculty members in the program.
- In addition to coursework, juniors can expect to practice 12-18 hours per week assisting with Winona State and community sports teams.
