Hey guys, I'm super into my sports and am considering Missouri Valley College. I couldn't really find clear info online, does anybody know if MVC is actually Division 1?
Missouri Valley College competes in the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) rather than the NCAA, so it doesn't fit into the usual Division I, II, or III classifications that apply to NCAA schools. NAIA schools like MVC often can offer great opportunities for athletes with smaller, more intimate athletic programs and a chance to potentially make a bigger impact on your team. It's a common misconception that NCAA Division I is the only place where competitive sports action happens—NAIA schools also feature excellent competition and can provide a more balanced approach to being a student-athlete.
