United States Sports University

The United States Sports Academy (USSA), located in Daphne, Alabama, along the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, operates as a specialized institution focused exclusively on sport education and certification. The single-building campus houses academic facilities, a library, and the American Sport Art Museum and Archives, which contains a significant collection of sport-related artwork. Founded in 1972, USSA delivers most of its education through distance learning platforms, offering bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees in areas including sports management, sports coaching, and sports studies. While the institution does not maintain athletic programs or student housing facilities, it has established international teaching partnerships and provides certification programs for sports organizations worldwide.
