Carolina Student-Athletes Excel Again in Graduation Success Rates

Graduation Success Rates for University of North Carolina student-athletes over the past four years remained at 88 percent, the second consecutive year the Tar Heels recorded their highest-ever four-year graduation rate.

For the first time, each of Carolina's women's sports programs had a four-year rate of 90 percent or higher, led by 100 percent rates for basketball, fencing, golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, swimming and diving, tennis and volleyball.

The data includes the 2011-12 through 2014-2015 incoming freshmen classes.

Carolina's single-year rate also was 88 percent, the fourth time in the last five years the Tar Heels hit that figure.
