Roger Williams University sponsors 16 varsity sports, most of which compete at the NCAA Division III level and are members of the Commonwealth Coast Conference.

Division III Philosophy

The Roger Williams Athletic Department is dedicated to the Division III philosophy of the student-athlete, and the intrinsic value of athletics in education.

Competition in athletics helps students discover what kind a person they would like to become. It also develops leadership, integrity, courage, and the ability to work with others to achieve a common goal. Being part of a collegiate varsity team is an experience that not all will have, but those who do will remember forever.
