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 />

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 />
