Sports Academy Accredited from Business School Council

Daphne-based United States Sports Academy recently announced it became the first sports university to earn accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). ACBSP accredits business education programs around the world at more than 1,000 campuses. The acceptance marks the culmination of a two-year accreditation process, which included an accreditation team of evaluators touring the campus in a “virtual site visit” in March, the nonprofit academy said. Indiana Wesleyan University faculty member Dr. Jeffrey Boyce, who served as the accreditation team’s chairperson, explained, “There are a variety of benefits for schools that become accredited by ACBSP. Our focus is on continuous improvement. It doesn’t matter how good your school is now; it can always be better. ACBSP-accredited schools are afforded input, guidance and professional development benefits so that they can continue to improve.”
