About the MIAC

Hamline Prospective AthletesHamline University varsity teams compete in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC), one of the strongest and most competitive NCAA Division III athletic conferences in the nation. The MIAC hosts championships in 22 sports (11 for men and 11 for women). The 13 private colleges and universities in the conference regularly attract top student-athletes from around the nation.

About Division III

Hamline Prospective AthletesAs an NCAA Division III school, Hamline student-athletes put academics first, but still get to compete at the highest level. Division III schools do not award athletic scholarships, so receiving financial aid is not contingent on making the varsity team. This allows students to succeed in their athletic career while placing athletics in the larger perspective of personal growth and education.
