USSA Description

The United States Sports Academy is an independent, non-profit, accredited, special mission sports university created to serve the nation and the world with programs in instruction, research and service. The role of the Academy is to prepare men and women for careers in the profession of sports.

The United States Sports Academy awards the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree. Especially in the master’s programs, learning in the field complements study in courses. Internships (in your local area, unless you choose otherwise) help build the professional networks that lead to satisfying employment. Alumni of the United States Sports Academy make up another network, one of sports’ most extensive. Many reports indicate, the number of graduates who get to work in the career studied is approximately 20%. But more than 75% of Academy graduates work in sports. They are managers, teachers, administrators, entrepreneurs, coaches, healthcare providers, and researchers-and they are all about sports, at the professional, Olympic, collegiate, interscholastic, and recreational levels.
