MURFREESBORO – Middle Tennessee's NCAA Graduation Success Rate set a new school record at 89 percent, as announced by the NCAA national office on Wednesday. It's the fifth straight year MT has either equaled or set a new school record.
The Graduation Success Rate (GSR) is a four-year measure of freshmen and athletic transfers who entered Middle Tennessee between the fall semester of 2008 and the spring semester of 2011. This marks the sixth straight year that Middle Tennessee has scored above 80 percent. The last six GSR scores for Middle Tennessee have been 89, 88, 87, 87, 87 and 82.
The Blue Raiders also ranked third out of the 14 teams in Conference USA, trailing only Rice and Charlotte who scored 93 and 90 percent, respectively.
Middle Tennessee had six programs score a perfect 100 percent GSR score. Men's basketball, men's tennis, women's basketball, women's tennis, soccer and volleyball all registered a 100 percent score. Baseball and women's golf was next in line with scores of 90 percent.
"This is a direct reflection of the hard work turned in by our student-athletes and their commitment to excellence," said Director of Athletics Chris Massaro. "Our coaches have built a culture on graduating student-athletes and winning championships, and we are very proud of that. Our academic success can also be credited to the team we have in place from President McPhee to Vice President Deb Sells, Faculty Representative Terry Whiteside, and Todd Wyant, the director of our student-athlete enhancement center."
