MVSU leading the charge in Academic Reform for HBCUs and Limited Resource Institutions

ITTA BENA – On Tuesday, November 15th, the NCAA released its graduation rate analysis for those Division I student-athletes entering college for the first time in 2009.  Those student-athletes continue to graduate at record high levels as measured by the Graduation Success Rate (GSR).  The GSR shows 86 percent of student-athletes who entered college in 2009 earned their degrees by 2015.  Overall, the class achieved a Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) of 66 percent.  This rate does not include transfer students, either into or out of a school, but the federal rate remains the only method of comparison between the student body and student-athletes.
