Hello all, I'm really interested in playing sports in college and was looking at Fairleigh Dickinson University. Does anyone know what division they're in?
Fairleigh Dickinson University actually has two different campuses with their own sports programs - the Metropolitan Campus in Teaneck, NJ, and the Florham Campus in Madison, NJ.
For the Metropolitan Campus, their teams, known as the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights, compete in NCAA Division I - the highest level of intercollegiate athletics. They are part of the Northeast Conference.
Meanwhile, at the Florham Campus, their teams, called the Fairleigh Dickinson Devils, compete in NCAA Division III. They are part of the Middle Atlantic Conferences.
So whether you're seeking the high level of competition and commitment that comes with Division I or the balance of athletics and academics offered by Division III, Fairleigh Dickinson has options for you.
