Rutgers student-athletes continue to perform both on and off the field, as three Rutgers athletic teams have earned Academic Progress Rate (APR) recognition from the NCAA for ranking in the top 10% of their respective sports.
The RU football, women's golf and women's lacrosse program have been all recognized for their APRs.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
The football team earned the honor for the eighth consecutive year and was one of only 14 FBS schools to be recognized this year.
