Hey guys, athlete here, looking for colleges. Anyone know if Brenau University is a D1 school? Would really appreciate any info you might have!
No, Brenau University is not a Division I school. It is part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), not the NCAA. The athletic teams at Brenau University participate in the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) within the NAIA. This means that while the level of competition is competitive, it's not on the same scale as Division I schools in the NCAA.
That being said, remember that NAIA schools like Brenau often offer a more balanced approach to student-athletes, allowing you to engage fully in both your sports and your academics. If you're trying to decide between colleges based on athletic involvement, I encourage you to consider not only the level of competition but also how the athletic program aligns with your academic goals and personal needs.
