I've been looking into Kilgore College for a while now, but I can't seem to find what type of athletic division they're in. Are they D1, D2, or something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as sports are a big part of my college decision.
Kilgore College is a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) and competes in Region XIV. The NJCAA is a separate organization from the NCAA, which oversees athletic programs for 4-year colleges and universities. The NJCAA primarily consists of two-year community colleges, like Kilgore College. So, they do not fall under the classifications of NCAA D1 or D2.
Kilgore College offers various sports programs for both men and women, including basketball, football, softball, and others. Since athletics are important to you, participating in sports at a junior college like Kilgore can be a good stepping stone to potentially transferring and participating in NCAA athletics at a four-year institution later on. Another possibility is using your experience at the NJCAA level to showcase your athletic abilities and transferring to a school with an NCAA program that aligns with your goals.
