Four Kent State Teams Capture A Perfect Graduation Success Rate

Women’s Basketball earns 100 percent rating for a sixth straight year

KENT, Ohio – For the sixth consecutive year the Kent State women’s basketball team has produced a perfect 100 Graduation Success Rate (GSR).  The data was released in an official announcement by the NCAA office on Tuesday (Oct. 25) afternoon.  The NCAA report includes both the GSR and the Federal Graduation Rate data for the 2001-04 cohort for all Division I institutions and is part of the annual NCAA Division I Academic Performance Program.

The women’s basketball program was one of four teams at Kent State to compile a perfect 100.  The volleyball, men’s golf and softball teams also received a perfect 100 GSR for the designated cohort.  In addition to the four programs with the perfect 100 both field hockey (92) and women’s golf (90) produced a rating of at least 90 percent.

The NCAA developed the Division I Graduation Success Rate in response to college and university presidents who wanted graduation data that more accurately reflect the mobility among all college students today. The rate measures graduation rates at Division I institutions and includes student-athletes transferring into the institutions.
