Georgian Court University Athletics

Georgian Court competes in NCAA Division II, which offers athletic scholarships while maintaining a balance between academics and sports. With 297 total athletes out of 1,174 students, about 25% of the campus participates in varsity athletics. The Lions field 10 varsity sports and award $2.5 million in athletic scholarships annually. Georgian Court competes in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference against regional rivals. The university's athletic programs reflect its small-college atmosphere where student-athletes can pursue competitive sports without the intense pressure of Division I. Women make up 72% of the student body, and the athletic offerings support this demographic balance. The Lions maintain solid community support in Lakewood, though the focus remains on developing well-rounded student-athletes rather than creating a major sports entertainment culture.
