About This School

United States Sports Academy is a private nonprofit institution located in Daphne, Alabama with approximately 136 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 35% of applicants. In-state tuition is $18,900 per year.

The United States Sports University is a private university focused on sports and located in Daphne, Alabama. It offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs as well as certificate programs. Founded in 1972, the academy has provided its sports programs to more than 60 countries around the world.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: while the median debt at graduation is a manageable $10,976, a 0% freshman retention rate is a serious red flag that demands explanation before you commit. This is a highly specialized institution with a narrow focus on sports education and a global reach across 60+ countries, which could appeal to someone with a very specific career path in sports administration or coaching. Worth considering only after directly asking admissions why students aren't returning after their first year, because that number is too alarming to overlook.
