Calumet College of Saint Joseph Athletics

Calumet College fields 14 varsity teams in the NJCAA, which represents junior college-level competition focused on developing student-athletes rather than big-time sports spectacle. The school awarded $3.2 million in athletic scholarships across all sports. With 332 total athletes out of 560 students, nearly 60% of the campus participates in varsity athletics. This strongly high participation rate reflects the college's emphasis on providing opportunities for working adults and non-traditional students to continue their athletic careers. The Crimson Wave compete in a division that emphasizes skill development and educational priorities over major media coverage. Given the school's small size and Catholic mission, athletics serve as a community-building tool that brings together the diverse student body of 65% men and 35% women.
