The Intercollegiate Athletics Program provides a natural extension of secondary school programs, offering skilled student athletes the opportunity to continue their educational and athletic experiences beyond high school.  The program functions at a level and in a manner that projects a positive image for the University in the community.  Membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II and Great Lakes Valley Conference, and adherence to the governing philosophies and regulations of these bodies, provide a framework for implementing the mission of the Department.

NKU sponsors intercollegiate competition in 13 varsity sports, six for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, and volleyball).  In addition, the Department also oversees the NKU student athletic training program, cheerleading squads, and various athletic administration work-study positions.  All totaled, close to 250 students.
