Bloomington, Ind. – An NCAA study released today shows Indiana University's students who participate in intercollegiate athletics continue to graduate at their highest rate ever.
On Wednesday, the NCAA announced that IU scored a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 91 percent, the school's best total since the report was first introduced 14 years ago. The GSR data is based on a six-year time period from the student's initial college enrollment.
This is IU's best GSR score since the NCAA began releasing it in 2005, and marks the sixth consecutive year that IU has established a new record with its score. It is also the seventh consecutive year that IU's score has improved from the previous year.
"We take a tremendous amount of pride in the academic success of our students, so we are thrilled about earning another record GSR score," said Indiana University Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Fred Glass. "Reaching our highest academic potential and earning Indiana University degrees is one of our main priorities, and this score reflects the tremendous commitment that is made by our students, our coaches and our academic support staff. We could not be prouder of our continued improvement and this record-setting score."
In addition to the overall success, individual programs stood out. Ten programs earned perfect scores: Men's Basketball, Men's Golf, Men's Soccer, Men's Swimming and Diving, Field Hockey, Women's Golf, Women's Soccer, Softball, Women's Swimming and Diving and Women's Tennis.
