Howard University Athletics

  The Howard University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics seeks to attract and cultivate student-athletes who reflect Howard's core mission to develop leaders who will change the world. Our student-athletes pursue excellence in the classroom, on the field of play and in the community. Our Coaches and administrators reinforce these values by instilling the importance of leadership, integrity, discipline, sportsmanship and teamwork.
    Howard University, a culturally diverse, comprehensive, research intensive and historically Black private university, provides an educational experience of exceptional quality at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels to students of high academic standing and potential, with particular emphasis upon educational opportunities for Black students. Moreover, the University is dedicated to attracting and sustaining a cadre of faculty who are, through their teaching, research and service, committed to the development of distinguished, historically aware, and compassionate graduates and to the discovery of solutions to human problems in the United States and throughout the world. With an abiding interest in both domestic and international affairs, the University is committed to continuing to produce leaders for America and the global community.
