By becoming a member of COSMA, a program tacitly agrees to abide by the accreditation policies and procedures of COSMA. All programs, regardless of accreditation status, must keep COSMA fully informed of the activities being conducted on at least an annual basis. To assist you in complying with this requirement, COSMA requires an Annual Report from each program. The annual report is due no later than July 31 of each year.
The purpose of the report is to keep COSMA apprised of the program's activities and changes that take place each academic year so a determination can be made that the program remains eligible for COSMA accreditation and in compliance with COSMA accreditation principles (for accredited programs). Any activity or change within the institution and/or program that materially alters the status of the sport management faculty, the sport management curriculum, the resources in support of the sport management unit, or other COSMA accreditation principles must be reported in the Annual Report to COSMA.
External Accountability (Principle 7.7) - download requirements
Excellence in sport management education requires institutions and their sport management academic units to be accountable to the public for the academic quality of their degree programs. Therefore, the sport management academic unit must have processes for consistent, reliable public disclosure of information pertaining to student achievement and program outcomes for its sport management programs. These processes must include the posting of student achievement and program outcomes data for each COSMA-accredited program on the sport management academic unit’s website in a manner that is easily accessible to the public. Tailor, complete and post the student achievement public disclosure form available above for download. Each COSMA-accredited program must comply with this Principle and websites will be checked three times a year by the Board of Commissioners for compliance. Failure to comply results in automatic Administrative Probation.
