Understanding DII Academic Requirements

September 18, 2017 by Coach

Succeeding in college sports starts with a successful career in high school English, math and science courses. A winning score in those areas will lead to victory in college eligibility. Starting Aug. 1, 2018, incoming student-athletes must meet the following requirements to be eligible for Division II athletics.

Core Courses

To be eligible to compete at Division II schools, incoming student-athletes must complete these 16 core courses:

  • 3 years of English
  • 2 years of math (Algebra I or higher)
  • 2 years of natural/physical science (1 year of lab if offered by high school)
  • 3 years of additional English, math or natural/physical science
  • 2 years of social science
  • 4 years of additional courses (from any area above, foreign language or comparative religion/philosophy)
