INDIANAPOLIS – The NCAA released the Graduation Success Rate for the 2012-2015 entering cohorts on Tuesday. The Jaspers posted a perfect GSR in 11 programs.
Manhattan posted perfect GSR rates in baseball, men's golf, men's lacrosse, men's swimming and diving, women's basketball, women's cross country and track and field, women's lacrosse, women's soccer, softball, and women's volleyball.
Three other Manhattan programs finished with a GSR over 90.
As a department, the Jaspers maintained a GSR of 97. Manhattan shared the highest GSR in the MAAC with Canisius.
Figures released Tuesday reflect graduation numbers among student-athletes who entered college in 2015. The NCAA has tracked GSR for more than two decades, and student-athletes have long surpassed the original benchmark goal of 80-percent. Since the GSR's inception, the overall student-athlete rate has soared from 74-percent to a two-year consistent rate of 90-percent.
