Released last week, the most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) data tracks the academic performance of athletes who began college in 2005. The GSR measures the graduation rate of athletes within a six-year period from the date of first-time college enrollment. The Ivy League ranked first among athletic conferences. For all Division I schools, the GSR rate was 81 percent. 天美麻豆 has 34 intercollegiate varsity sports teams, which include 879 student-athletes.
