Texas A&M Athletics Records 985 Multi-Year APR Average
May 02, 2023 | Center for Student-Athlete Services
INDIANAPOLIS – Eight Texas A&M athletics programs surpassed the 990 multi-year Academic Progress Rating, and four Aggie teams recorded a perfect multi-year APR rating during the 2018-19 to 2021-22 academic years, the NCAA announced Tuesday.
The Aggies recorded a 985 multi-year average for the four-year period. Ten programs registered their highest multi-year average with men's tennis, women's cross country, women's golf and volleyball turning in perfect (1,000) APR multi-year scores.
"I am incredibly proud of all of our programs and the Center for Student-Athlete Services for their hard work in achieving this round of Academic Progress Rates," director of athletics Ross Bjork said. "The APR for each program is collected over a four-year period and showcases each team's ability to retain and graduate their student-athletes throughout their collegiate careers. To have four teams obtain perfect multi-year scores and eight at 990-or-higher is a phenomenal accomplishment. These results are on brand with our vision of being the pinnacle of opportunities realized through sports: championships won, diplomas earned, leaders equipped and launched to impact the world."
Men's cross country, men's golf, men's tennis, women's basketball, women's cross country, equestrian, women's golf and volleyball all locked in multi-year APR results 990-or higher.
"We salute the four teams that achieved perfect Academic Progress Rates," associate athletics director of academic services Dr. Dan Childs said. "Additionally, eight teams earned 990-or-higher rankings, along with a number of other programs that consistently excel academically. Through championship athletics, the Athletic Department encourages our student-athletes to achieve academic and athletic success. We are very proud of our student-athletes for taking advantage of all the academic opportunities available to them."
The Academic Progress Rate measures the eligibility, retention and graduation of student-athletes competing on every Division I sports team. It also serves as a predictor of graduation success. The NCAA's Division I Board of Directors set cut scores of 930 (out of 1,000) as a threshold for teams to meet or face possible immediate and historical sanctions. An APR of 930 translates to approximately a 50 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR).
