Notre Dame NCAA Academic Progress Rates: How Did All The Sports Rate?
The NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate has always been an interesting measure.
In a world that really only cares about success on the field, this is the check and balance by the NCAA to make sure the schools are doing what they can to keep their student-athletes on track to graduate.
So what is the APR and why do you care?
To keep it simple, it’s a measurement of how well the students are progressing in the classrooms. Are they on track to graduate? Are they getting to class, and how is the school doing at making sure the environment is set up for success?
Every student-athlete on scholarship in some way gets a point by staying in school and staying academically eligible.
Which sports rank the highest? 1000 is the best you can do, being in the 990s is fabulous, the 980s is fine, the 970s is good enough, and anything less than that is a bit of an issue.
It’s a bit skewed year-wise – the 2024 APR rankings cover the 2022-2023 academic calendar.
Here are the Notre Dame APRs by sport. Note, there’s a skip in 2020 – we took the last five APRs available.
