INDIANAPOLIS – Eight Fresno State athletic programs earned perfect 1,000 Academic Progress Rate scores for the 2021-22 academic year, according to the NCAA's latest announcement on academic success and degree completion.
The teams – men's basketball, men's golf, women's cross country, women's golf, women's soccer, women's swimming and diving, women's tennis and women's track and field – were recognized by the NCAA in the public release of the APR data.
In addition to the eight perfect single year scores for 2021-22, four programs – men's cross country, men's golf, women's golf and women's tennis – also maintained perfect marks in the multiyear rate, which represents data submitted for the 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 academic years.
Each academic year, every Division I sports team across the country calculates its APR using a simple and consistent formula. Each term, scholarship student-athletes can earn one point for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. For schools that do not offer scholarships, recruited student-athletes are tracked.
This is the second year of publicly reported APRs after a one-year COVID-19 hiatus. Last spring, the Division I Board of Directors approved the release of APR scores but voted to continue the suspension of program penalties.
