List of NCAA Division II institutions

The following American colleges and universities are classified as Division II 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.
*In sports in which the NCAA does not sanction a Division II championship (notable examples are men's and women's ice hockey and men's volleyball), schools that are otherwise Division II may compete in Division I.
*The prefix "St.", as in "Saint", is alphabetized as if it were spelled out.
