List of NCAA Division I Institutions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following American colleges and universities are classified as Division I for NCAA competition.

Notes:

• Schools are listed in a tabular format. Columns are arranged in the following order, from left to right:
  • Athletic team description (short school name and nickname), with a link to the school's athletic program article if it exists. When only one nickname is listed, it is used for teams of both sexes. (Note that in recent years, many schools have chosen to use the same nickname for men's and women's teams even when the nickname is distinctly masculine.) When two nicknames are given, the first is used for men's teams and the other is used for women's teams. Different nicknames for a specific sport within a school are noted separately below the table.
  • Full name of school.
  • Location of school.
• Note also that the prefix "St.", as in "Saint", is alphabetized as if it were spelled out.
