Four-Year Colleges Fielding Softball Teams (U.S. and Canada) 101 102 COLLEGE LISTINGS U.S. AND CANADIAN COLLEGES FIELDING SOFTBALL TEAMS The following information is designed to help you start identifying the colleges you want to contact. For each school I’ve listed the name and address; whether the school is public or private; the size; the setting; religious affiliation if applicable; an approximate cost for tuition/fees and housing; whether softball scholarships are offered; the school’s athletic affiliation; and the softball coach’s name and phone number. The listings are alphabetical by state and school. Here’s what a typical listing looks like: College name –––– Coastal Carolina University Box 1954 –––– Mailing address Conway, SC 29526 Public or private school; size; setting –––– Public, Small, Suburban $10360/17540/incl, Yes, NCAA-I –––– Estimated cost for in-state/out-of-state Softball coach’s name & phone number –––– Jess Dannelly 843-349-2827 tuition/fees and housing; whether or not softball scholarships are offered; athletic affiliation email address –––– [email protected] NOTES: • For the school size, “Small” means 6000 or fewer students; “Medium” means 6000 - 12000 students; and “Large” means more than 12000 students. • “Metro” indicates the school is located in a major metropolitan area; “suburban” means it’s in either a small town or a suburban area; and “rural” means it’s in a rural area. • The amounts by the dollar sign ($) represent estimated in-state and out-of-state tuition/fees plus housing costs based on 2007-08 figures. In most cases, the listed amount will not include the cost of books, travel, personal expenses, etc. These costs may add 5-15% to the total cost of attendance. Also, since college costs often increase annually, these figures may be off by10-20%. For exact costs, contact the college directly. • An “N/A” by a dollar amount indicates the figure does not include housing costs; an asterisk (*) by a dollar amount means on-campus housing may not be available at that school therefore the cost reflects estimated tuition/fees only. • College data is subject to change at any time. Coaches leave one school for another; schools switch athletic affiliation; and colleges add (or occasionally drop) a sport. Area codes and phone numbers change often as well. If a number is no longer correct, try checking the area code with your operator or calling the college directly and asking to be routed to the softball office.This book is updated annually, but some coaches, costs, etc., may have changed since the last revision. • NOTE: There are also over 400 junior colleges around the country that field softball teams. For a list of these schools, contact the National Junior College Athletic Association; the California Community College League; or the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.
