NC State Sets School Record, Tops UNC in Grad. Success Rate

NC State set a new school record with an 85% Graduation Success Rate.
(**The 2017 NCAA figures are based on entering classes from 2007 through 2010.)

NC State student-athletes have set or matched highest marks in school history each of the last 3 years. The 5 highest marks in program history have come in the last 5 years.

As an alumnus, that is something I’m extremely proud of. Especially with those light blue boys down the road making a mockery of academics. Speaking of UNC, they got their grades back as well and unfortunately, even with the offering of fake classes, they still didn’t do enough to top the Wolfpack.

According to GoHeels.com:
The University of North Carolina’s Graduation Success Rate for incoming student-athletes from 2007-2010 is 84%, an increase of two percent from a year ago, in data released today by the NCAA.

Maybe next time?

According to the NCAA:

Each year, the NCAA publicly announces the Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of all Division I institutions, along with a similar Division II Academic Success Rate (ASR). According to the most recent Graduation Success Rate data, 82 percent of Division I freshmen scholarship student-athletes who entered college in 2004 earned a degree. In Division II, 73 percent of freshmen student-athletes who entered college in 2004 graduated. The graduation-rate data are based on a six-year cohort prescribed by the U.S. Department of Education.

The NCAA developed the Division I Graduation Success Rate in response to college and university presidents who wanted graduation data that more accurately reflect the mobility among all college students today.

Both the Graduation Success Rate and the Academic Success Rate account for the academic outcomes of student-athletes who transfer from one institution to another. The rate compiled using the federal government’s methodology does not count transfers in and counts transfers out as graduation failures. Regardless of which rate is used, student-athletes are shown to graduate at a higher rate than their peers in the general student body.
