College of Southern Maryland Athletics

The Hawks compete in the NCCAA, a smaller athletic association focused on Christian colleges that emphasizes character development alongside competition. With 120 athletes across 8 varsity sports, athletes make up just 2.7% of the 4,422-student body. The college offers $115,210 in athletic scholarships, though this relatively modest amount reflects the NCCAA's lower-profile status compared to major college divisions. As a community college in rural Southern Maryland, CSM's athletics serve more as local community engagement than major spectator events. The Hawks provide opportunities for students to continue playing sports while pursuing two-year degrees or preparing to transfer to four-year institutions. Most student-athletes likely come from the immediate Southern Maryland region, given that 98.81% of all students are Maryland residents.
