About Beacon Athletics
In 2023, Beacon College took a significant step forward in the evolution of our athletics program with admission into the United States Collegiate Athletic Association, a national small-college intercollegiate athletic league. In 2024, Beacon joined the New South Athletic Conference providing additional playing opportunities within the USCAA.
Our athletics options include opportunities for every member of the Beacon community to play in our no-cost intramural sports program. It’s a fun way to interact with other students, faculty, and staff while blowing off some steam. Offering full schedules of team and intramural athletics, students are encouraged to participate through our Fitness and Recreation Department.
Facilities
Intramural & Fitness Center
As the centerpiece of The Beacon Promise Capital Campaign, the construction of an $11 million, 28,000-square-foot Intramural & Fitness Center is critical to enhancing our students’ physical wellness and quality of life. While physical activity is important for all, it is especially important for Beacon College’s neurodivergent student population.
