Division II Member Schools

Division II includes 300 NCAA colleges and universities that provide thousands of student-athletes the opportunity to compete at a high level of scholarship athletics while excelling in the classroom and fully engaging in the broader campus experience.

Division II schools are located in most states, including Alaska and Hawaii, as well as the District of Columbia. The division also features the NCAA’s only international member university (Simon Fraser in British Columbia, Canada) and three schools in Puerto Rico.

The Division II membership is split almost evenly among public and private schools. Division II has the greatest proportion of historically black colleges and universities (about 10% of the Division II membership) and Hispanic-serving institutions (almost 15%).

Most Division II member schools are organized among 23 conferences for the purposes of athletics competition, though about a handful of Division II schools are classified as independents.
