Division II membership comes from the Equity in Athletics data. Enrollment and admission rates come from the College Scorecard.

Guide

What NCAA Division II means here

A college is on this page when its athletics division in the file is NCAA Division II. The rule is that field. It is not a judgment about campus size, and it is not a football conference. The table sorts by state.

Division II schools may award athletic scholarships. NCAA limits on those scholarships are lower than in Division I. This page does not list the dollar amounts. It only identifies the division the file reports.

The division field

NCAA Division II is one value of the athletics division. Every campus with that value is listed. A famous program and a small one count the same way. The fact card reports how many campuses the file currently includes.

Football, when it exists, is not required for membership on this page. A Division II school that does not play football stays. That is the same idea as the Division I colleges page, applied one division down.

The neighboring divisions

Division I and Division III have their own pages. A school does not appear on two NCAA division pages, because the field holds one division. NAIA schools are a different association and stay off.

A blank athletics division stays off. Several campuses in the Scorecard have no division in this file. Absence is unreported. It is not a quiet form of Division II.

How to use a regional set

Division II competition is often regional. The state sort matches that habit better than an alphabetical national list would. Scan a state, then open the campuses you want to compare.

Admission rate and price still vary widely. A division does not set either number. Use the figures below for the shape of the set, and use the school profile for net price and debt.

Scholarships, without a fake number

The scholarship difference from Division III is the point many readers care about. Division III does not award athletic scholarships. Division II may. Saying more than that, such as a typical aid package, would be a number this file does not contain.

Conference names inside Division II are not given their own pages here. The football conference field is used for the Division I conferences readers ask for. This page stays at the division.

Where the schools are

These schools sit in 46 states. The largest groups are California (22), Pennsylvania (17), North Carolina (16), Texas (15), and Florida (14). The rest of the roll is spread across the other states in the table.

Who runs them

By reported control, 146 are public, 145 are private nonprofit, and 2 are private for-profit. A blank control stays out of that split.

Predominant degree is the credential the campus awards most often. On this list it is a bachelor's degree at 287 schools, a certificate at 4 schools, and an associate degree at 2 schools. A campus can still award other credentials.

How large they are

The largest undergraduate enrollments on this list are Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, New Hampshire, with 163,164 undergraduates, California State Polytechnic University-Pomona in Pomona, California, with 25,042 undergraduates, The University of Texas at Dallas in Richardson, Texas, with 21,751 undergraduates, California State University-Los Angeles in Los Angeles, California, with 19,562 undergraduates, and Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan, with 18,854 undergraduates. Enrollment is the undergraduate figure. It is not a ranking, and it leaves out graduate students.

Admission

263 of 293 schools report an admission rate. The median of those rates is 80%. Schools with no reported rate stay out of the median. A missing rate is not an open door, and it is not a closed one.

The lowest reported admission rates on this list are University of Virginia's College at Wise in Wise, Virginia, at 29%, Mississippi Christian University in Clinton, Mississippi, at 29%, and University of Puerto Rico in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, at 35%. A lower rate is harder entry. It is not a score for the school.

The highest reported admission rates on this list are Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi, at 100%, King University in Bristol, Tennessee, at 100%, and Western Colorado University in Gunnison, Colorado, at 100%.

What they charge

Among 146 public colleges that report an in-state sticker price, the median is $9,202. Among 147 private colleges that report a sticker price, the median is $35,218.

Sticker price is not net price. Grants, waivers, and a service commitment can move the bill by a wide margin. Open a school for the net-price figures.

Earnings and graduation

Among 293 schools that report earnings, the median of those school-level medians is $51,019. The clock starts at entry, not at graduation. The highest reported medians on this list are Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts, at $120,959, Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado, at $97,335, and Dominican University of California in San Rafael, California, at $84,713.

Among 293 schools that report a graduation rate, the median rate is 50%. A blank rate is left out. It is not treated as zero.

Also on other lists

Some of these schools also meet the rule for another list on this site. The overlap is a second flag or a second classification. It is not a second ranking.

4 are also on R1 research universities. 19 are also on R2 research universities. 13 are also on liberal arts colleges. 28 are also on HBCU colleges. 59 are also on Hispanic-serving institutions.

How these figures work

Admission rate, enrollment, sticker price, earnings, and graduation rate all come from the College Scorecard. Earnings are the median 10 years after a student entered the school. Tuition for a public college is the in-state sticker price. Tuition for a private college is the published sticker price. None of these is net price after aid.

A blank field stays blank. This page does not turn a blank admission rate into an open door, a blank fee into a free application, or a blank earnings figure into zero. The table above is membership under the rule in this guide. Sort order is not a quality ranking.
