Ready, Set, Shine
Gustie student-athletes get great training for life. A quarter of students play on our competitive Division III teams, all the while pursuing rigorous classwork and extracurriculars. At Gustavus, you don’t have to choose one over the others. You’ll get plenty of support and time—including two hours set aside each weekday—to balance athletics, academics, and your other passions.
Find Your Squad
Gustavus fields competitive teams—several of them nationally ranked—in 23 varsity sports. We’re known for our perennial success, consistently finishing at the top of the combined Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference men’s and women’s all-sports standings. We also keep our eye on the academic ball. Gustie teams are routinely called out for academic excellence, and our players named as All-Academic Scholars and athletes.
As a Gustie student-athlete, you’ll get more than glory on the field. You’ll have ample time for study away, original research, internships, electives, and community-based projects—all the pursuits that create an excellent liberal arts education.
From the ice rink to the tennis court, the gridiron to the golf course, you can count on developing leadership and teamwork skills that will shine in competition, the classroom, and beyond.
