ATLANTA – For the fifth consecutive year, Georgia State athletic teams led the way among all Sun Belt Conference schools in the Graduation Success Rate (GSR), as announced by the NCAA on Wednesday.
In the most recent cohort released for 2016, GSU teams combined for an 88 percent graduation rate within the allotted six-year period. All of Georgia State’s athletic programs received a Graduation Success Rate higher than that of the Federal Rate. GSU’s score of 88 percent ties the program’s all-time high and has now risen or been equaled for seven consecutive reporting periods.
The Graduation Rates Report provides information about two groups of students at the college or university identified at the top of the form: (1) all undergraduate students who were enrolled in a full-time program of studies working towards earning a baccalaureate degree; and (2) student-athletes who received athletics aid from the college or university for any period of time during their initial year.
