Does anyone know which are the biggest Division 2 schools in terms of student population? I'm interested in attending a D2 school, but I'm also looking for a larger student community. Any suggestions or resources where I can find this information? Thank you!
While I don't have a comprehensive list of the largest Division 2 schools by student population, I can give you a few notable examples to help you start your search:
1. California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) - With around 20,000 students, CSUSB offers a large student community and participates in NCAA Division 2 athletics.
2. California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) - Another California State University with a significant student population of around 17,000 students, CSUDH also competes in Division 2 sports.
3. Grand Valley State University (GVSU) - Located in Michigan, GVSU has a student population of over 24,000 and offers a wide range of athletic programs at the Division 2 level.
4. University of Central Missouri (UCM) - With a population of around 14,000 students, UCM is another example of a larger school competing athletically at the Division 2 level.
It's important to note that the size of the student population may not always be associated with the success or prominence of the athletic programs. As you research prospective schools, make sure to consider other factors like academic programs, campus culture, and location as well. To find more Division 2 schools and their respective sizes, you can use the NCAA website or College Navigator to filter schools by division and compare their enrollment numbers. Good luck with your search!
