Student-Athletes at LVC

Dutchmen Pride Everywhere

At Lebanon Valley College, you don’t have to choose between competing at a high level and earning a meaningful degree. Our student-athletes do both—pursuing their passions in the classroom while representing LVC on the field, court, track, and beyond.

With a strong academic reputation, close faculty mentorship, and a Division III athletics program, LVC offers an experience where you’re known, supported, and challenged as both a student and an athlete.

More Than an Athlete

As a student-athlete at LVC, academics come first—but athletics play an important role in shaping leadership, teamwork, and resilience. You’ll be part of a close-knit campus community where professors, coaches, and advisors work together to support your success.

Whether you’re preparing for graduate school, a professional career, or leadership opportunities after college, you’ll graduate with real-world experience and lifelong connections.
