COSMA Program Accreditation

Saint Leo University’s two academic degree programs in sport business have been accredited by the Commission on Sport Management Accreditation (COSMA), a specialized body that promotes and recognizes excellence in sport management programs at colleges and universities.

COSMA granted accreditation to the university’s Bachelor of Arts in Sport Business, which is offered at the main campus in central Florida, and to the university’s online Master of Business Administration with a concentration in Sport Business.
This new accreditation was first available in 2010.  Saint Leo was one of only two undergraduate programs in the nation to earn accreditation in this first year available, and is currently the only accredited MBA program in the nation.
