Last week the NCAA released data that revealed that Michigan State student-athletes posted all-time highs for Graduation Success Rates (GSR) and Federal Graduation Rates (FGR) for the 2009-10 to 2012-13 freshman classes.
“Our student-athletes work hard every day, balancing the responsibilities that come with playing a sport and pursuing their college degree,” MSU executive director of Student-Athlete Support Services Todd Edwards said. “As a department, we take great pride in watching them reach their goals, including graduating with a degree from Michigan State University. Their academic success is a tribute to their hard work, supportive coaches who emphasize academics, and the care and commitment provided by our staff, both within the department and the broader MSU community.”
Seven different sports posted a 100% GSR, including men’s basketball, men’s tennis, rowing, field hockey, women’s golf, women’s soccer and volleyball.
