Nine Massachusetts Athletics Programs Post Perfect Graduation Success Rates

AMHERST, Mass. – University of Massachusetts Athletics posted an 88% Graduation Success Rate for the 2013-14 to 2016-17 freshman cohorts, the NCAA announced as part of the annual NCAA Division I Academic Performance Program. Massachusetts Athletics also has a 986 APR.

Based on NCAA groupings for GSR ratings, nine of Massachusetts' 17 programs earned perfect 100 scores including men's cross country/track, women's cross country/track, rowing, field hockey, women's lacrosse, women's soccer, women's swimming and diving and tennis. The Massachusetts men's lacrosse (94) and softball (93) programs also posted rates higher than 90%.

Differing from the Federal Graduation Rate, the NCAA GSR holds colleges accountable for student-athletes who transfer to their school, but the GSR does not penalize colleges whose student-athletes leave the institution in good academic standing.
