Mission College Athletics

Mission College offers minimal athletics with just 10 total athletes across 2 varsity sports among its 5,557 students. This means only 0.18% of students participate in varsity athletics. The Saints compete as an Independent program, meaning they don't belong to a conference and schedule games individually with other community colleges. Community colleges typically focus on providing affordable pathways to four-year universities rather than building major athletic programs. Mission College allocates $0 toward athletic scholarships, reflecting the institution's priorities toward academics and career training. The limited sports offerings align with the college's mission as a transfer-focused institution serving Silicon Valley's diverse population. Students seeking robust athletic experiences often transfer to four-year universities after completing their foundational coursework.
