Texas A&M Athletics Earns Record-Tying Multi-Year Academic Progress Rate – WTAW
News release from Texas A&M Athletics:
INDIANAPOLIS – Texas A&M Athletics registered a record-tying 987 multi-year Academic Progress Rate behind the efforts of perfect multi-year ratings from four programs, the NCAA announced Tuesday.
“This is another incredible accomplishment to an already historic academic year,” Director of Athletics Trev Alberts said. “The APR takes into account a number of different factors over the last several years, so to see our department continue to trend positively makes me very proud. This showcases a culture that values academics and I want to congratulate not only our student-athletes, but all of our staff members as well that make this possible.”
The rating takes into account data from the 2020-21 to the 2023-24 academic years. The Academic Progress Rate measures the eligibility, retention and graduation of student-athletes competing on every Division I sports team.
It also serves as a predictor of graduation success. The NCAA’s Division I Board of Directors set cut scores of 930 (out of 1,000) as a threshold for teams to meet or face possible immediate and historical sanctions. An APR of 930 translates to approximately a 50 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR).
The Aggies were led by men’s and women’s cross country, women’s golf and volleyball who posted perfect multi-year APRs. Additionally, women’s basketball, soccer, softball, women’s swimming & diving, women’s tennis and women’s track & field locked in 990-or-better multi-year scores.
During the four-year period, 14 teams registered at least one 1,000 single-year rating with 12 programs accomplishing the feat two-or-more times. The record multi-year APR of 987 matched last year’s multi-year score.
