Utah Scores High in NCAA Academic Progress Rate
6/4/2024 3:35 PM | General
Perfect single-year scores for 10 Utes teams in latest NCAA APR release
INDIANAPOLIS – The NCAA released the 2022-23 Academic Progress Rate (APR) report on Tuesday and 10 University of Utah sport programs earned perfect scores of 1000 in the single-year report for 2022-23 for Division I schools. In addition, three of the Utes' sport programs — men's golf, women's soccer and beach volleyball — earned perfect multi-year marks of 1000. The multi-year scores are compiled from a four-year period.
Â
The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation of all student-athletes on scholarship, and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
Â
The ten Utah teams to earn perfect 1000 single-year scores for the 2022-23 reporting year are women's basketball, men's basketball, men's golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, women's skiing, women's soccer, softball, women's tennis and beach volleyball.
"The academic success of our tremendous student-athletes remains our guiding focus as we continue to build a culture of excellence in Utah Athletics," said Mark Harlan, Director of Athletics. "The APR report is yet another reflection of this pursuit, and a testament to the hard work and commitment of our students, as well as the coaches, staff and administrators who support them."
A full list of APRs for each team, including the Top 10, can be accessed by using the APR searchable database.
Utah Athletics recently celebrated 118 current or former student-athletes who earned their degrees over the past year. According to the most recent NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR), 94 percent of Utah student-athletes graduated within six years of enrolling. It was the sixth consecutive year that Utah's score has met or exceeded the 93-percent benchmark, and the Utes' 94-percent rate for 2023 ties for the second-best mark in program history while tying for fourth among all public institutions in power conferences.
