What are the different divisions in college soccer?
NCAA Division I
-
Highest level of college soccer competition in the U.S.
-
Largest athletic budgets, extensive recruiting, and most scholarships (up to 9.9 for men, 14 for women, divided among players).
-
Highly competitive nationally; heavy travel and rigorous schedules.
-
Often a stepping stone to professional opportunities.
NCAA Division II
-
Competitive soccer but slightly less travel and time commitment than D-I.
-
Smaller athletic budgets; scholarships available but typically fewer than D-I (9.0 for men, 9.9 for women).
-
More balance between athletics, academics, and campus life.
NCAA Division III
-
No athletic scholarships, but strong focus on academics and well-rounded college experience.
-
Competitive programs (some nationally elite) but generally lower athletic time demands than D-I/D-II.
-
Financial aid through academic merit or need-based grants is common.
NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics)

Comparable to NCAA D-II/D-III in competition level, with some strong programs.
-
Can offer athletic scholarships (up to 12 for both men and women, divided among players).

Smaller schools, often with a close-knit community feel.
NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) — Junior/Community Colleges

Two-year colleges, with divisions (DI, DII, DIII) based on scholarship offerings.

Good pathway for players wanting to improve academically, develop athletically, or transfer to NCAA/NAIA programs later.

Shorter seasons but still competitive, with opportunities to play nationally ranked opponents.
