Hi everyone, I'm a junior who's thinking of pursuing college sports. I'm specifically looking into Division I schools. Does anybody know approximately how many D1 colleges there are in the U.S.?
There are approximately 350 Division I colleges across the United States. These schools are diverse in size, location, and athletic focus. They include larger state schools, private universities, and mid-sized institutions. Keep in mind, not every sport is offered at all Division I colleges. It's really important to research and reach out to the athletic departments of the schools you're interested in to learn more about their specific programs. Just remember, the commitment to athletics at a Division I level is significant, so ensure that you're prepared for balancing sports with your academics.
