SAINT PETER'S UNIVERSITY

ABOUT SAINT PETER'S

Located in Jersey City, New Jersey, Saint Peter's University has fielded intercollegiate athletics since its founding in 1872, now sponsoring 13 varsity sports across the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The university's current enrollment of 3,572 students provides the student-athlete base for programs ranging from baseball and basketball to cross country and swimming & diving. Saint Peter's competes with both men's and women's teams in basketball, cross country, golf, tennis, and soccer, supplemented by sport-specific programs like baseball and softball.

The Peacocks' athletic infrastructure spans traditional offerings across four seasons, with football notably absent from the varsity lineup while maintaining competitive squads in Olympic sports like women's swimming & diving and both men's and women's cross country. Saint Peter's basketball teams represent the university's most visible programs within MAAC competition, where the conference also houses fellow New York metropolitan area institutions. With nearly two dozen student-athletes competing across endurance sports alone—including both men's and women's cross country—the athletic department emphasizes breadth of opportunity alongside competitive excellence in its 13-sport portfolio.
