National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics<br />

The National Association of<br />

Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) currently<br />

administers programs of intercollegiate<br />

athletics at approximately 300 fully<br />

accredited colleges and universities of<br />

moderate enrollment. The fundamental<br />

tenet of the NAIA is that intercollegiate<br />

athletics is an integral part of the total educational program<br />

of the institution.<br />

As the country’s oldest collegiate sports governing<br />

body, the NAIA has been a leader in addressing<br />

important issues such as racial integration, women’s sport<br />

championship programs, character formation and improved<br />

academic eligibility requirements.<br />

There are presently 13 sport offerings and 23 national<br />

championship opportunities within the NAIA. The national<br />

office of the NAIA is located in Olathe, Kan. The web site<br />

address is naia.cstv.com.<br />

National Christian College Athletic Association<br />

Corban College is presently an<br />

associate member of the National Christian<br />

College Athletic Association (NCCAA).<br />

Over 20 national championships in men’s<br />

and women’s sports are sponsored by the<br />

NCCAA.<br />

The NCCAA was incorporated to provide a Christianbased<br />

organization that functions uniquely as a national<br />

and international agency for the promotion of outreach<br />

and ministry, and for the maintenance, enhancement, and<br />

promotion of intercollegiate athletic competition with a<br />

Christian perspective.<br />

Corban has sent men’s and women’s basketball,<br />

men’s and women’s soccer, and volleyball teams to national<br />

tournaments, winning championships twice in women’s<br />

basketball and once in men’s soccer and volleyball.<br />

The national office of the NCCAA is in Greenville, S.C.<br />
