The Monmouth University Athletics Department achieved a score of 90 or higher for the third time in the last four years, according to the annual Graduation Success Rate Data released by the NCAA on Wednesday afternoon. Overall, Monmouth’s GSR score is 93, based on the four entering classes from 2013-2016.
Ten of Monmouth’s programs, including men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, women’s lacrosse, softball, bowling, and men’s and women’s tennis, led or tied for the lead in their respective conferences with perfect scores.
The GSR was created by the Division I Board of Directors in response to the need for data that accurately reflects the mobility of college students, unlike the federal graduation rate. Unlike the federal rate, which counts any student who leaves a school as an academic failure, the GSR formula removes academically eligible student-athletes who leave school and includes those who transfer to another school after initially enrolling elsewhere. This calculation provides a comprehensive and accurate measure of student-athlete success.
