A Unique College Preparing Students for Careers in Athletics

Most states have a mix of small colleges, large universities, public institutions, and private ones. Some states, like Alabama, can boast that they have a truly one of a kind college.

The United States Sports Academy really is a totally unique higher education institution, a college which does nothing but prepare students for careers in the world of athletics.

Offering both online and traditional on-campus programs, the Academy's course delivery options are designed to accommodate full time or part time degree seekers.

USSA offers certificates in eight areas, including sports management, sports coaching, and sports fitness.

There are bachelors degree completion programs offered for students interested in sports management, coaching, and sports studies.

At the graduate level, the Academy offers a masters degree in sports science, with five areas of concentration, and a doctoral degree in sports management.

Not surprisingly, many USSA graduates wind up in college coaching and/or athletic administration. In that group are people like Texas Tech's head football coach, Mike Leach, Western Michigan head basketball coach Steve Hawkins, University of Kentucky assistant basketball coach Jeremy Cox, and University of Texas associate athletics director, Lynn Wheeler.

Graduates of USSA who have found their way into the pro ranks include Dennis Lindsey, assistant general manager of the NBA San Antonio Spurs, and Nashville Predators director of hockey operations, Michael Santos.

If you would like to attend a college that puts all its focus on developing and offering programs designed to prepare students for careers in coaching, athletic administration, and other sports related careers, USSA is certainly worth a look.
