# List of NCAA women's beach volleyball programs

These collegiate women's beach volleyball teams compete as members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Currently, 101 college athletic programs sponsor the sport, with two more to do so in future seasons. The majority of the participating programs are members of Division I, though some members of divisions II and III also compete. Unlike in most sports for which the NCAA holds championships, one beach volleyball championship is held, made open to members of all three divisions.
