Athletics Overview
Clark Atlanta competes in NCAA Division II, which sits between the high-profile Division I programs and the no-scholarship Division III level. Division II schools offer athletic scholarships but with smaller budgets and less media attention than major college sports. The Panthers field 10 varsity sports with 219 total athletes, meaning about 6% of the 3,482 students participate in varsity athletics. The school competes in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference alongside other historically Black universities like Morehouse and Spelman. Clark Atlanta awards $3,132,255 in athletic scholarships across all sports. While not known as a sports powerhouse, the Panthers maintain solid programs that give student-athletes opportunities to compete at a meaningful level while pursuing their education at this HBCU in downtown Atlanta.
