The University’s top sources of program funds include the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Science Foundation, the Departments of Defense and Energy, NASA, the Department of Education, and a number of private, corporate, and nonprofit organizations.

Athletics

Carrying on an intercollegiate athletic tradition more than 100 years old, the Brown Bears compete in the Ivy League and against other colleges and universities at the NCAA Division I level. Brown has one of the nation’s broadest arrays of varsity teams — 37 in all, 20 for women and 17 for men.

U.S. News and World Report recently named Brown athletics to the College Sports Honor Roll as one of the nation’s top 20 athletic programs. Brown teams regularly compete in the NCAA championship, with the women’s crew team winning four NCAA championships in the last six years. In addition, softball, men’s soccer, men’s cross country, and men’s tennis have made NCAA playoff appearances in the last two years. Both the men’s soccer (17) and women’s soccer (12) teams have won more Ivy League titles than any other Ivy school.

In 2004-2005, Brown athletes achieved at the highest level on an individual basis, with five Academic All-Americans, 13 All-Americans, eight national qualifiers, seven players drafted by professional leagues, two Ivy League Rookies of the Year, and an Ivy Player of the Year.

The Brown football team earned its first outright Ivy League Title with a 9-1 overall and 6-1 Ivy record in Fall 2005.
