From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates This is a list of colleges and universities that are members of Division I, the highest level of competition sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Currently, there are 365 institutions classified as Division I (including those in the process of transitioning from other divisions), making it the second largest division by school count in the NCAA.[1] An additional 206 institutions in one of the NCAA's other two divisions compete or will compete in Division I in at least one sport. All colleges and universities on this list are located in the United States; all states (except Alaska) plus the District of Columbia are represented by full members. Information in this list represents the current 2025–26 seasons.

Full members

These schools are full members of Division I, meaning they either have finished the process of joining Division I or were members of its predecessor, the University Division.

Transitioning members

These schools are at some point in the process of joining Division I, but as of January 2025, have not yet finished the process and thus aren't yet full members. Unless stated otherwise, all transitions begin and end on July 1 of a given year.

Following a change in Division I rules approved in January 2025, new transitions from Division II now require three years, and those from Division III four years. Both are reductions of one year from previous reclassification periods. Additional requirements concerning academic and scholarship metrics were added to the requirements for Division I membership eligibility. Institutions already in the reclassification process may apply the new, shorter reclassification period, if they meet the new academic and scholarship requirements.[2] The dates of full membership shown in the table below assume the reclassifying institutions will elect to apply the new, shorter reclassification period and will qualify to do so.

Approved reclassifications

All moves between divisions require NCAA approval before commencing. These schools gained this approval and as such have begun their transitions.

Partial members

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". These schools are not members of Division I, but rather are members of Division II or Division III that compete in one or more sports at the Division I level. In many cases, these institutions play in Division I because their divisions do not have championships for a particular sport. Five institutions, all Division II members, fielded teams in a Division I sport for the first time in the 2024–25 school year. LeMoyne–Owen and Rockhurst added men's volleyball; Menlo, Roosevelt, and Vanguard, which played that sport in the NAIA in 2023–24, aligned fully with the NCAA.
