Polite ask here! I'm checking out Franklin Pierce Uni and its sports programs are important to me. Is it a D1 school? I've not been able to find this info anywhere. Thanks for helping.
Glad to help out! Franklin Pierce University is not a Division I (D1) school. It actually competes at the Division II (D2) level in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
Being a D2 school doesn't necessarily mean lower quality athletics or less competitive games than those of D1 programs. D2 schools like Franklin Pierce University offer a balance of rigorous sports competition and the chance to be deeply involved in other campus activities and maintain a solid academic performance.
Keep in mind, the type of athletic program at a school can influence the time commitment required from athletes, the level of competition, and the availability of athletic scholarships. As you consider your college options, think about your academic, athletic, and other extracurricular goals, and how they might align with the opportunities provided by different athletic divisions.
Hope this information is helpful for you!
