Thomas University Athletics

Thomas University competes in the NJCAA, which is the National Junior College Athletic Association, meaning they offer two-year associate degree programs alongside their four-year degrees and compete against other junior colleges. With 358 total athletes out of 813 students, about 44% of the student body plays varsity sports, making this one of the most athletic campuses you'll find anywhere. The Night Hawks field teams in 12 different sports and distribute $1,527,379 in athletic scholarships, which helps explain why nearly half the students are athletes. NJCAA schools typically offer strong athletic programs with solid scholarship opportunities but don't have the massive stadiums or TV coverage of Division I. For students who want to play college sports and have a real chance of making the team, Thomas provides an accessible path with meaningful financial support.
