Step 5: Accreditation Decision
 
The COSMA Board of Commissioners is the independent accreditation decision-making body of COSMA and is composed of eight members from COSMA membership, one practitioner from sport industry, one public member and (at least) one member from a minority-serving institution. The Board of Commissioners normally meets two times each year, in February and September. The Board of Commissioners determines the accreditation status of the sport management programs.

Next Board of Commissioners Meeting: Friday, February 19, 2021
 
The Board of Commissioners reviews the self study materials, the site visit team’s report, the academic unit/sport management program’s response, websites, complaints and news articles, and determines:
  1. Accreditation Granted (with Notes and/or Observations)
  2. Action on Accreditation Deferred (no action)
  3. Accreditation Denied
