INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
PROGRAM
Columbia has a long tradition of success
in intercollegiate athletics, and The Fu
Foundation School of Engineering and
Applied Science has always been an active
participant in these programs. While
Columbia’s intercollegiate athletic program
is governed by Ivy League regulations,
Columbia is also a member of the
Eastern College Athletic Conference and
the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Columbia sponsors men’s varsity teams
in baseball, basketball, cross-country,
fencing, football, golf, rowing (heavyweight
and lightweight), soccer, swimming
and diving, tennis, track and field
(indoor and outdoor), and wrestling.
Women in all undergraduate divisions
of Columbia and in Barnard College
compete together as members of
University-wide athletic teams. The
arrangement, called a consortium under
NCAA rules, is one of only three in the
nation and the only one on a Division I
level. Currently, there are women’s varsity
teams in archery, basketball, crosscountry,
fencing, field hockey, golf,
lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming
and diving, tennis, track and field
(indoor and outdoor), and volleyball.
