Div 3 Sports, Engineering

<p>I am currently and junior in HS and am going to pursue Engineering as an undergrad degree. I was wondering if there are any good div 3 (soccer) Engineering schools? I play for a very competitive soccer club but dont want to play D1 soccer along with Engineering as it would be too much. I also prefer a big school (if its realistic) lol i know these requirments are limiting. Just any ideas? Or has anyone played D3 sport alon with Engineering?</p>

<p>[Men’s</a> DIII soccer scoreboard - NCAA.com](<a href=“http://www.ncaa.com/content/mens-diii-soccer-scoreboard]Men’s”>http://www.ncaa.com/content/mens-diii-soccer-scoreboard) and [Women’s</a> DIII soccer scoreboard - NCAA.com](<a href=“http://www.ncaa.com/content/womens-diii-soccer-scoreboard]Women’s”>http://www.ncaa.com/content/womens-diii-soccer-scoreboard) have lists of men’s and women’s NCAA Division III soccer teams (click “Available Teams”).</p>

<p>Use [ABET</a> -](<a href=“http://www.abet.org%5DABET”>http://www.abet.org) to find schools with your desired engineering major.</p>

<p>Assuming that you are a man from your screen name, some obvious schools are Caltech, Harvey Mudd (combined with Claremont and Scripps as Claremont-Mudd-Scripps), MIT, RPI, Rose Hulman, Rowan, Swarthmore, TCNJ, UCSC, WPI.</p>

<p>Some engineering students play NCAA Division I sports:

<p>I don’t know much about soccer, but I can tell you that it might be easier from an academic perspective to play DI sports than any other division. Some DI schools have great academic support for their athletic departments. </p>

<p>If you are truly a DI caliber player, you should strongly consider that option.</p>

<p>A college athlete has a long day regardless of which Division he/she plays in.</p>

<p>From our discussions with RPI’s admissions and coaches, they seemed to be very supportive of their athletes’ academic needs. They claim to give athletes breaks from practices if there was an academic demand. The real test is to look at the soccer team’s roster for the schools you are considering. If there are no engineering majors, especially upperclassmen, then it tells you something.</p>
