Student-athlete graduation reports remain strong

The University of Michigan’s student-athlete graduation rates were once again above national averages as the NCAA released its Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) reports for all NCAA Division I institutions. In addition, nine of Michigan’s teams included in the report earned perfect GSR scores.

Michigan raised its four-year average GSR to 90 percent, which is 1 percent higher than last year, two points higher than in 2014, and 11 percent higher since 2010. U-M’s four-year rolling average FGR remains strong at 80 percent.

Among Big Ten Conference schools, Michigan tied for the second-highest GSR with a 90 and tallied the second-best FGR score of 80. Only Northwestern’s scores of 97 and 91 were higher.
