What Is a D1 College?

A Division I (D1) college is a school that competes at the highest level of intercollegiate athletics as recognized by the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). These schools are often known for their strong athletic programs, competitive scholarships, and large student bodies. With hundreds of institutions across the U.S., D1 colleges range from powerhouse public universities to elite private schools — each representing different regions, conferences, and sports traditions.

Whether you’re scouting colleges, building a bracket, or just testing your knowledge of college athletics, D1 schools form the heart of American collegiate sports.
