They are members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and participate in the University Athletic Association at the NCAA Division III level. The Bears have won 19 NCAA Division III Championships— one in womens Cross country running (2011), one in mens tennis (2008), two in mens basketball (2008, 2009), five in womens basketball (1998–2001, 2010), and ten in womens volleyball (1989, 1991–1996, 2003, 2007, 2009) – and 144 University Athletic Association titles in 15 different sports.
