Tulane Continues Academic Progress Rate Excellence
Jun 5, 2024 | General
NEW ORLEANS – Tulane University had five athletic programs earn perfect multi-year APR (Academic Progress Rates) scores, the department announced Wednesday afternoon. Also, eleven (11) programs either improved or equaled their multi-year APR score from last year, including men's tennis, which recorded a perfect rate of 1,000 for the 13th consecutive season.
The other Green Wave programs with perfect multi-year rates were men's cross country, men's track and field, bowling, golf and women's tennis.
Additionally, football had its best rate in program history with a 982, one point better than its previous high of 981 set this time last year.
"I said when I was hired that I sought an institution that combines world-class academics with a pursuit of excellence in all endeavors," Ben Weiner Director of Athletics Chair David Harris said. "Today's news is further evidence of that and all of the credit goes to our student athletes and staff for continuing to make it a reality."
Twelve (12) programs, once again, have a multi-year APR average higher than the national mark of 984, equaling the department's standard for the third consecutive year. Those scores cover the academic years 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23.
"The academic success of our student athletes is, and will always be, paramount at Tulane," said Deputy AD, Student Services/SWA Dr. Charvi Greer. "We have a very balanced approach to achieving that success, both in and out of the classroom, and that is a crucial component to maintaining the standard that we've set."
The NCAA Division I academic progress rates system was implemented as part of "an ambitious academic reform effort," according to the NCAA's website. The APR holds institutions accountable for academic progress of student-athletes through a team-based metric that accounts for the eligibility and retention of each student-athlete for each academic term.
