Pratt Community College Athletics

Pratt Community College competes in the NJCAA, which represents mid-level junior college athletics with athletic scholarships but smaller crowds than major universities. The Beavers field 16 varsity sports with 385 total athletes, meaning an impressive 64% of students participate in athletics. The school awards $985,036 in athletic scholarships annually. With men comprising 63% of enrollment, the gender split reflects the strong agricultural and technical focus that attracts more male students. Rural Kansas junior colleges like Pratt often develop intense rivalries with nearby community colleges, particularly in traditional Great Plains sports. The high athletic participation rate creates a tight-knit campus culture where sports serve as a major social center for students in this remote setting.
