Athletics Records 86% Graduation Success Rate

INDIANAPOLIS – Texas A&M Athletics registered an 86% Graduation Success Rate (GSR), matching the second highest in program history, the NCAA announced Wednesday.
"We take great pride in our performance in the classroom and graduating our student-athletes," Director of Athletics Trev Alberts said. "A degree from Texas A&M University is invaluable, and I am thankful to our coaches and staff members for fostering an environment that prioritizes academics. I am very proud of everyone that contributed to this Graduation Success Rate and look forward to seeing us continue to build on this impressive milestone."
The GSR is based off the graduation rate data for the 2015-16 to 2018-19 freshman cohorts for all NCAA Division I institutions. All colleges and universities are required by NCAA legislation and federal law (the Student Right-to-Know act from 1990) to report student graduation rates, and those institutions offering athletics aid are required to report for their student-athletes as well. The NCAA acquires student-athlete graduation rate data from the Department of Education's Integrated Post-Secondary Data System Graduation Rate Survey (IPEDS-GRS).
"The latest Graduation Success Rate reflects Texas A&M Athletics' steadfast commitment to academic excellence," Executive Associate Athletics Director of Academics and Student-Athlete Engagement Dr. Dan Childs said. "This achievement speaks volumes about the dedication of our student-athletes and the exceptional support provided by the coaches, administration and Center for Student-Athlete Services. Graduation remains a cornerstone of our mission, and we will continue to set higher standards to ensure every Aggie student-athlete thrives in the classroom and beyond. We are proud of this milestone and remain focused on building an even stronger academic legacy."
The department was led during the reporting period by eight programs that recorded 90%-or-better GSRs. Men's tennis, women's golf and volleyball turned in perfect GSRs.
