CUNY Bernard M Baruch College Athletics

Baruch competes in NCAA Division III, where sports focus on personal development rather than big-time athletics with scholarships and packed stadiums. The Bearcats field 13 varsity teams with 199 total athletes, meaning just 1.3% of the 15,734 students participate in varsity sports. The college competes in the City University of New York Athletic Conference alongside other CUNY schools like Brooklyn College and Hunter College. With no athletic scholarships available and limited housing capacity of just 288 beds, most student-athletes commute to campus like the majority of Baruch's student body. The athletics program serves students who want to continue competing while pursuing rigorous business degrees in Manhattan's heart.
