The North Coast Athletic Conference
Founded in 1983, the North Coast Athletic Conference is dedicated
to fostering a complementary relationship between intercollegiate
athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence. Consisting
of nine academically selective colleges and universities in Ohio,
Indiana and Pennsylvania Allegheny College, Denison
University, DePauw University, Hiram College, Kenyon College,
Oberlin College, Ohio Wesleyan University, Wabash College,
Wittenberg University and The College of Wooster the NCAC
believes that high-level athletic programs need not be sacrificed in
order to meet rigid academic standards.
Significantly, all nine NCAC institutions have been granted
chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, the preeminent honor society for colleges
and universities. Only 276 of the more than 3,000 four-year
institutions in the United States have been so honored.
A member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s
Division III, the NCAC features championship competition in 22
sports 11 for men and 11 for women. The 11 women’s sports are
the most offered by any Division III conference, and the equality in
number and emphasis between men„s and women„s athletics is just
one of the elements that sets the North Coast apart.
The goals of the conference express the best aspirations of
American amateur athletics. The NCAC brings together a group of
institutions which share a common allegiance to academic quality
and to the conduct of athletics so as to support the educational purpose.
Intercollegiate athletics can and should complement academic
life, rather than compete with it, and sports should enhance the
experience of students during their college years. This type of academic
and athletic commitment has been led by the 10 school presidents,
who have taken an active role in the governance of the conference.
Fifty-two teams from 22 North Coast sports were represented
in NCAA post-season competition during the 2009-10 academic
year. The NCAC added one more NCAA Division III swimming
championships as Kenyon claimed the men„s title. The conference
has accumulated 61 national championships since its inception in
1984-85. In the past academic year, 180 NCAA All-America or
ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America certificates
were distributed to student-athletes from North Coast schools.
The NCAC’s commitment to equity, its broad base of athletic
programs, and an unwavering insistence on excellence in academics
has served as a model for conferences throughout the country.
The North Coast has shown not only that these ideals can coexist,
but that they can flourish. The NCAC continues as a pace-setter in
the 21st century.
