Hi! I'm interested in Rutgers Newark and just wanted to know if they have a Division 1 athletic program? Any info would be appreciated!
Rutgers Newark does not have a Division 1 athletic program. Instead, their sports teams compete in Division III as a member of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) and the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC). Division III schools typically prioritize a balance between academics and athletics. Although the competition at the Division III level is still highly competitive, the focus is more on the overall educational experience for student-athletes. If you are interested in participating in sports at Rutgers Newark, they offer a variety of varsity sports teams for both men and women, as well as club sports options and intramural activities.
