Hey guys, I'm interested in applying to Rose Hulman, and while I dig the academics, I'm wondering how big of a part athletics play in the community atmosphere there. Anyone knows if Rose Hulman is a D1 school? Thanks in advance!
Hello! Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is not a Division I school, it's a NCAA Division III school. As a DIII school, athletics at Rose-Hulman are less intense than they would be at a DI school, and there is a stronger emphasis on balance with academic work.
However, despite not being a D1 school, Rose-Hulman still has a lively athletic community with a variety of sports teams, so you can definitely join if you are looking for a good balance between academic and athletic life. Furthermore, NCAA DIII schools like Rose-Hulman promote the importance of enjoying sports for the development of character, sportsmanship, and teamwork.
The school's teams, known as the Fightin' Engineers, with Rosie the Elephant as their mascot, compete in sports including baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, and track and field for men. For the women's side, there are teams for basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, and volleyball.
Hope this overview helps!
