Hello all! I'm seriously considering applying to Appalachian State University, and I'm also hoping to continue playing sports at a competitive level. I'd appreciate if you could tell me whether they're a D1 school or not.
Yes, Appalachian State University does indeed participate in Division I sports. As a member of the NCAA Division I's Sun Belt Conference, the university fields teams in various sports, including but not limited to football, soccer, basketball, baseball, and track and field for both men and women. If you're interested in continuing your athletic career at a competitive level, this could be a great opportunity for you. Remember, of course, to reach out to the coaches of your sport of interest and possibly visit the campus or attend a game if circumstances allow. It's always a good idea to get a sense of the team culture and coaching style first-hand when considering collegiate athletics.
