What does Tabor College offer in terms of athletics?

Tabor College competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, or NAIA, and the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference. Varsity athletics are distinct from the college's intramural activities, which offer a different way to participate without joining an intercollegiate team.

Reported sports offerings include football, basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, volleyball, cross-country, track and field, golf, tennis, swimming and diving, and cheerleading. The current athletics roster and recruiting contacts are the right places to confirm a particular team's status and participation requirements. Athletic participation or a conversation with a coach does not itself establish scholarship eligibility.

What student groups and Associations are available at Tabor College?

Tabor College offers student involvement through activities, service, cultural groups, and the performing arts. Reported examples include the Student Activities Board, the Multi-Cultural Student Union, and CHUMS, a mentoring-oriented group.

Other listed opportunities include WUMP, associated with an urban ministries service experience, as well as theater and choral participation. Group names and activity levels can change from year to year, so students interested in a specific organization should check the current student activities roster. Intramurals are another participation option, but they are recreational activities rather than a student association.

Who studies at Tabor College?

Tabor College reported 621 enrolled students in its 2024-25 student figures. Its size means a prospective student should evaluate the actual course offerings and community rather than assume the range of services or class sections found at a much larger institution.

The reported entering group included 136 first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates and 58 transfer-in students. Most enrolled students were traditional college age: the largest reported age groups were 18-19 and 20-21. Students age 25 and older were also enrolled, though in smaller numbers.

Among reported geographic-origin figures, 57% of students were Kansas residents, 31% came from other U.S. states, and 12% came from other countries. These categories describe where students came from; they do not indicate what support an individual international or out-of-state student will need. Reported racial and ethnic enrollment includes White, Hispanic or Latino, Black or African American, multiracial, and other students, without any one category describing every student's experience.

How does student life look like at Tabor College?

Student life at Tabor College takes place on a small, largely residential Christian campus. Reported housing figures indicate that 98% of students lived on campus, so shared activities and campus facilities are likely to feature prominently in daily routines for the measured student group.

Students can take part in campus programming, performing arts, intramurals, and service activities. The college also reports personal and psychological counseling. Applicants who have specific accessibility, health, or wellness needs should check the current services and referral arrangements, particularly because access to counseling does not imply that the college operates a full health clinic.

A residential setting can reduce the distance between classes and activities, but it also makes the details of housing rules, transportation, and weekend programming worth considering before enrollment.

What libraries are available to students at Tabor College?

The Tabor College Library is a central academic study and research resource. Reported campus library figures count two libraries, and students can reserve study rooms.

For research-intensive assignments, students should check the library's current catalog, database access, research-help services, and borrowing arrangements for materials not held locally. Those resources may matter more than the number of library buildings. The library is not reported to offer study areas open around the clock, so students who regularly work late should verify current hours and alternative study spaces.
