Drew University Athletics

Drew competes in NCAA Division III, where sports focus on personal development rather than big crowds and scholarships. The Rangers field 25 varsity teams in the Landmark Conference, with 469 total athletes representing about 31% of the student body. This high participation rate reflects Drew's emphasis on well-rounded student experiences rather than top competition. Division III schools like Drew don't offer athletic scholarships, so student-athletes play for the love of the game while pursuing rigorous academics. The Rangers compete against other small liberal arts colleges in their conference, though Drew isn't particularly known for athletic dominance. With a student-faculty ratio of 11:1, student-athletes receive personalized attention both in the classroom and on the field. The athletic program complements Drew's broader mission of developing engaged, thoughtful graduates.
