Hi forum, first time posting in this forum. I've decided I want to pursue a four-year Maths degree. I am currently in a community college and even though my college has guaranteed articulation agreements with many of the States Universities, a lot of them aren't my taste[I have more than enough credits to apply for my Assoc degree but have not done so]. I have been working and paying for community college out of pocket, and will probably do the same for any University I attend, I have near perfect credit in-case I need student loans, and money saved overtime (Note: I'm 23 and have been working since I was 17-18 y/o). I am going to pay to for the school out-of-pocket, and for that reason It should be a school I like.
I'd appreciate it a lot if you guys can help me compile a list of potential schools. The perfect college for me would be one with little to no athletics programs, like basketball, football, baseball, and track and field, any other athletics I wouldn't mind as much. I'd want to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, and would like to continue for grad and post-grad at that school for the same subject if a school like that exists. I'm willing to settle so, as-long as the school is not NCAA affiliated. NOTE: I think I have enough money saved to relocate anywhere in the country.
Just out of curiosity, why the aversion to a school with athletics? Are you just opposed to Division I or are you opposed to all NCAA affiliated schools regardless of division?
It will likely be hard to find somewhere with little athletics but also a decent graduate school.
Also, are you a man or a woman? There may be women-only schools that match your criteria, but I'm not sure.
Here is your list of schools you'd be omitting if you avoided NCAA schools: NCAA Members By Division
Perhaps the OP is looking for a post secondary institution that concentrates on actual academic scholarship and research , not athletics. When so many colleges are trumpeting about their sports teams... my question would be, what is your scholastic rating in the State ?

It'll be almost impossible. I know a couple schools that don't have athletics at all, but they are very specialist schools that don't have math departments at all.
Even MIT and CalTech are members of the NCAA and have athletic departments
For those wondering, I have philosophical belief that not one penny of mine should go to sports in academia. I'd rather it go to a nutritionist program if it's to target the problem of obesity, and if its for teamwork or socializing than student research projects. I am also aware of academic dishonesty associated with NCAA schools. Most athletes from those specific sports highlighted in bold don't have the time to earn any letter grade(GPA Boosting, grade inflation, sham classes, etc).
IMHO most schools damage their academic integrity by having an athletics program. I am a man btw. And my last name is Kaplan for those wondering.

I think this takes out 99% of all the schools I have ever heard mentioned.

XXXX.
Scholastic rating? if you mean my GPA its a solid 4.0 with 106(>200 Lvl Community College) credit hours, I could of applied them at 62Cr for most associate degrees offered in New York, but got more electives instead. 40Cr hours go to fulfill the gen ed of most Associate degrees here. I just took the rest because I was indecisive as to what profession I wanted to pursue.
