The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) has become one of the the most important organizations to provide a benchmark for quality courses.
Mizzou Academy is proud that many courses offered by Mizzou Academy have been approved by the NCAA, establishing initial-eligibility certification of student-athletes. The NCAA:
- Assures even non-college athletes of the academic rigor and quality of a course
- Certifies the academic and amateur credentials of prospective collegiate athletes
- Applies thorough standards that require courses be individually approved for eligibility
Students considering college athletics (and sometimes other highly selective post-secondary options) will want to ensure the course selected is reviewed and approved by the NCAA.
