Bloomfield College Athletics

Bloomfield College competes in NCAA Division II, where athletic scholarships are available but the focus remains on balancing academics with competitive sports. With 148 total athletes out of 901 students, about 16% of the campus participates in varsity athletics. The Bears field 10 varsity sports teams and distribute $472,559 in athletic scholarships annually. Division II represents a middle ground between the high-profile, scholarship-heavy atmosphere of Division I and the purely amateur Division III level. As a small liberal arts college, Bloomfield's athletic programs serve more as community builders than major campus attractions. The Bears compete in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference alongside other regional institutions. With limited enrollment and resources, the athletic department focuses on providing opportunities for student-athletes to compete while maintaining academic priorities.
