The Master's University and Seminary Athletics

The Mustangs compete in NAIA athletics, which sits between major Division I programs and smaller Division III schools with moderate competition and athletic scholarships available. With 305 varsity athletes across 14 sports and total enrollment of 1,606 students, about 19% of the student body participates in varsity athletics. The athletic program receives $3.27 million in scholarship funding. NAIA schools typically have strong local followings without the massive stadiums or television coverage of major universities. The Master's emphasizes character development through athletics alongside competition. As a Christian institution, the athletic program integrates faith-based values with competitive sports. The relatively high percentage of student athletes creates a campus culture where sports play a meaningful role in student life, though academics and spiritual development remain the primary focus.
