Hi Alejandro:
There are many colleges and universities that currently have strong soccer and academic programs. But let's see the top 10 as published by mooxye.com
- Stanford University
- Indiana University
- Wake Forest
- University of North Carolina (which also has one of most powerful women's soccer programs)
- University of Akron (Ohio)
- Southern Methodist University (Texas)
- University of Louisville (Kentucky)
- Clemson University (South Carolina)
- Duke University (North Carolina)
- Michigan State University
These are all very good NCAA Division I programs, but I would also research the three other college divisions as well.
This includes colleges and universities in NCAA Division II and Division III. In addition there is also the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), which includes many of the smaller sized state and private colleges and universities in the United States.
