Hello! I'm interested in The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) and was wondering if it's a Division 1 school for athletics. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
No, The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) is not a Division 1 school for athletics. TCNJ competes in Division III of the NCAA as a member of the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC). Division III schools typically prioritize academics over athletics, do not offer athletic scholarships, and have a greater focus on the student-athlete experience. However, these schools still maintain competitive athletic programs which allow student-athletes to participate in their desired sports and maintain a balance between their academic and athletic pursuits.
