Hey guys! I'm looking at potentially joining the Alvernia University athletics program. Does anyone know what division they compete in, and what's the level of competition like? Any input would be appreciated!
Alvernia University competes in NCAA Division III athletics and is a member of the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC). In DIII, the focus is typically more on academics and the student-athlete experience rather than athletic scholarships, as full athletic scholarships are not offered at this level. That said, the level of competition in DIII athletics can still be quite high, as many talented athletes choose this path to maintain a balance between sports and academics. At Alvernia, you can expect competitive gameplay and a well-rounded college experience, though the intensity may be less than what you'd find in Division I or II programs. It's essential, however, to visit the campus, meet the coaching staff, and try to connect with current athletes to get a better understanding of the athletic culture and expectations. Good luck!
