Best Rowing Colleges

Best College Rowing Teams

NCSA analyzed 150 four-year colleges with women’s college rowing programs across three division levels (D1, D2, D3) to develop a list of the Best Women’s Rowing Colleges for Student-Athletes.

NCSA Power Rankings are based on proprietary analysis of “NCSA Favorites” data obtained from the college search activity of the millions of student-athletes on the NCSA recruiting network, U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges general academic rankings, and the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard graduation rates and average cost after aid.

For more information on the NCSA Power Rankings, visit our press kit or email us.
