Community College of Baltimore County Athletics

CCBC competes in the NCCAA, a division for smaller colleges that emphasizes character development alongside athletics. With 256 athletes across 9 varsity sports and 13,195 total students, about 1.9% of the student body participates in athletics. The Lions distribute $229,086 in athletic scholarships annually, providing meaningful financial support for student-athletes. As a community college, CCBC's athletic program serves as a stepping stone for students looking to transfer to four-year institutions with stronger athletic credentials. The NCCAA division allows for competitive play while maintaining academic focus and smaller budgets than major college athletics. Most community college athletes use their two years to develop skills and earn associate degrees before transferring to larger programs.
