Athletics
Our scholar-athletes compete in NCAA Division I athletics in 21 varsity sports with support from a coaching staff that is just as committed to ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½'s educational mission as they are to its athletic success.
Whether you're a ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ athlete, coach, die-hard fan or casual spectator, you’re a part of our team. Go 'Cats!
ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ performs at the highest levels, in academics, in athletics, in the arts—in every way. Students work alongside staff mentors to develop their capacity to lead and motivate positive change. Competing in athletics at the highest national level prepares us to persevere in the face of defeat and to win graciously.
Scholar Athletes. And We Mean It.
Athletics is an integrated part of education at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½, not an addendum to it. More than 80% of our students are active in intramural, club, or varsity sports, and one in four play in Division I. Coaches are educators from whom student-athletes learn how to lead and to collaborate. They learn how to adjust and attack problems differently. Most of all, they learn that teamwork triumphs over individual talent, which pays off on the field, in the classroom, and beyond ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½. Our scholar-athletes post a graduation rate of 91%, making us a leader among Division I institutions.
Athletics Done Right
Athletics Done Right means competing at the highest level athletically while compromising nothing academically. It means that our students are true scholar-athletes and that our coaches and administrators are educators. It means we have a distinct advantage, especially amongst ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½â€™s peers in higher education, participating at the Division I level. It means that we commit to and cultivate a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment within and beyond the athletic community.
