intramural

Within one institution

Intramural describes activities occurring within a single institution, especially sports competitions where participants come from the same school or organization rather than competing against outsiders: intramural basketball, the intramural league.

The word contrasts with extramural (between institutions) and intercollegiate (between colleges).

In medicine, intramural means within the walls of an organ or cavity.
