Map of schools offering men's varsity fencing
This is a list of colleges and universities with NCAA-sanctioned fencing teams. Fencing is a coed sport, with teams having men's and women's squads, although some schools field only a women's team. Schools of every division compete together regularly. Most major conferences do not sponsor fencing, with the notable exceptions of the Ivy League and the Atlantic Coast Conference, the latter having reinstated the sport beginning in 2014–15 after having previously sponsored it from 1971 through 1980.[1] For this reason, most other schools compete as independents.[2]
