What's up everyone, I'm a student-athlete hoping to be in a D1 program for my sport. I'm in the process of drawing up my college shortlist, and wanted to know - is Methodist University considered a D1 school? Really appreciate your help!
Methodist University is part of the NCAA Division III, not Division I. Institutions belonging to Division III focus on the impact of athletics on the educational experience and shorter practice and playing seasons, no redshirting, and a ban on athletic scholarships. If you're hoping for a Division I athletic program, Methodist University wouldn't meet that criteria. Remember that every division level offers a different experience and opportunities, so it's crucial to consider what you're looking for in an athletics program as well as how that ties in with your academic goals as you shortlist your colleges.
