Home | Reference & Education | College And University 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. The academy focuses on adult learners, offering full time and part time as well as online and on-campus degree options. The Academy allows students to earn professional certificates in sports management, sports coaching, human performance, sports studies, sports fitness, and more. There are bachelors degree completion programs offered for students interested in sports management, coaching, and sports studies. The Academy's graduate level offerings include a doctoral program (Ed.D.) in sports management and a master of sports science degree with a choice of five available concentrations (sports coaching, sports management, sports fitness, sports medicine, sport studies). As you might guess, many Academy graduates have wound up in college coaching, including Greg McDermott (Iowa State- mens basketball), Jeff Mittie (Texas Christian University- womens basketball), and Mike Leach, the football coach at Texas Tech. 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. There are many universities which offer programs in coaching and athletic administration, but few offer as many programs as USSA does both online and via traditional degree programs. And, there is no other U.S. college or university which specializes in preparing students for careers in athletics. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
