by our College Data Analytics TeamOn this page, we take a look at the Charleston Southern University athletics program as well as each varsity sport offered at the school so student athletes can decide if the school is a good match for them.
As a proud member of the Big South Conference conference, CSU contends with other NCAA Division I-FCS schools.
There are 437 athletes who take part in at least one sport at the school, 277 men and 160 women. On average, these students receive around $13,889 in sports-related student aid, which can help defray a lot of college costs.

In addition to giving other data about the sports below, we try to include each sport’s ranking on our Best Schools for a Sport lists when one exists. College Factual’s sports rankings are a little different than the other ones you’ll find on the Internet, since our analyses take both athletics and academics into account. We believe it’s important to get a great education, whether you participate in sports or not.
