List of NCAA Division I institutions

The following American colleges and universities are classified as Division I for NCAA competition.

Notes:

• Following the normal standard of U.S. sports media, the terms "University" and "College" are ignored in alphabetization, unless necessary to distinguish schools (such as Boston College and Boston University) or are actually used by the media in normally describing the school, such as the College of Charleston.
• Schools are also alphabetized by the names they are most commonly referred to by sports media, with non-intuitive examples included in parentheses next to the school name. This means, for example, that campuses bearing the name "University of North Carolina" may variously be found at "C" (Charlotte), "N" (North Carolina, referring to the Chapel Hill campus), and "U" (the Asheville, Greensboro, and Wilmington campuses, all normally referred to as UNC-{campus name}).
• The prefix "St.", as in "Saint", is alphabetized as if it were spelled out.
