The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) selects Academic All-America® teams in 12 programs: football, women’s volleyball, men's soccer, women's soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s track & field/cross country, women’s track & field/cross country, men’s at-large and women’s at-large. A first team, second team and third team are selected in both the University (Division I and I-AA) and College (Division II, III and NAIA) Divisions. Football consists of just first and second teams.
The following list is comprised of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans. The Academic All-America program administered by CoSIDA is distinct from those sponsored by coaches' organizations and is recognized as the oldest in college athletics. The program originated in 1952 as the creation of Lester Jordan, then Sports Information Director at Southern Methodist University (Texas).
