I've been considering applying to Virginia Wesleyan University, but I'm curious if they compete in Division 1 athletics. Can anyone provide some info on this?
Virginia Wesleyan University is not a Division 1 athletics program. Instead, the university competes in Division III athletics as part of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC). The school fields teams in a variety of sports, such as basketball, soccer, tennis, and more. While Division III athletics may not receive as much national attention as Division I, many student-athletes still find the competition level to be satisfying, and the emphasis on maintaining a balance between athletics and academics can be beneficial. Additionally, being a student-athlete in Division III often allows for more time to engage in other extracurricular activities and focus on academic pursuits.
