Utah Athletics Graduates 90% of its Student-Athletes
INDIANAPOLIS—The NCAA released its 2016-17 Graduation Success Rate (GSR) today and for the seventh-straight year the Utah gymnastics team recorded a perfect score. Overall, 90-percent of the student-athletes at the University of Utah graduated within six years from the time they enrolled as freshmen, its highest mark ever, and second among Pac-12 schools.
Â
Also announced today was the Federal Graduation Rate (FGR), which revealed that Utah's student-athletes over a four-year period are graduating at a higher rate than the U.'s general student population by nine percentage points (68%-59%). The single-year GSR showed an even greater differential, with 74-percent of Utah's student-athletes graduating in 2016-17 compared to 53-percent of the general student population.
Â
The reason for the difference between the NCAA and federal graduation rates is that the former makes adjustments for circumstances such as transfers and church missions.
Â
Utah had the best (or tied for the best) GSR in the Pac-12 in eight sports and all of them achieved a perfect score (gymnastics, men's basketball, men's golf, men's skiing, men's tennis, women's basketball, women's tennis and volleyball). It marks the seventh-straight year that the gymnastics team and both tennis teams received perfect scores. Football's GSR ranked second in the Pac-12.
Â
Eleven Utah teams—gymnastics, baseball, men's basketball, football, golf, men's skiing, men's tennis, women's basketball, cross country/track, women's tennis and volleyball—exceeded the overall Division I GSR for their sport.
