Athletics
The intercollegiate athletic program is an integral part of the college’s educational objectives. The program is part of a network of services provided to enhance the student life environment. As a member of the NJCAA, the Maryland JUCO Conference, and Region XX, the college provides programs to appeal to a vast majority of the Howard Community College student body.
At present, our sports program offers men’s and women’s lacrosse, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s soccer, basketball, cross country, and outdoor track. Participation requires full-time academic enrollment, unless a student possesses a documented learning disability dated within three years of initial college enrollment.
