Hey everyone, I'm considering applying to Swarthmore College and I'm wondering what division their sports teams are in. Can anyone help me out?
Swarthmore College is a Division III school, which is part of the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). Division III schools tend to emphasize the student-athlete experience and focus on balancing academics with athletics. While sports are still competitive at Swarthmore, they won't be as high-profile or demanding as Division I programs. So, if you're looking for a well-rounded education with the opportunity to participate in sports at a competitive yet not overly demanding level, Swarthmore's Division III athletic program could be a great fit for you.
