Northeastern University student-athletes continue to distinguish themselves in the classroom, graduating at rates well above their conference and national peers, according to information released Tuesday by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The annual report, issued by the NCAA, revealed a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 93 percent for all Northeastern student-athletes, compared to a national average of 86 percent for all Division I institutions. The Huskies reached the 93-percent figure for the second straight year, and is an all-time high for the university. Of the 13 NU teams included in the report, 10 scored at or above the national average for their respective sport. Eight teams—baseball, men's cross country/track and field, men's soccer, women's cross country/track and field, women's rowing, women's ice hockey, women's swimming and diving, volleyball—achieved a perfect GSR of 100 percent. Each of those eight teams ranked first in their conference in graduation success. Northeastern also set the benchmark in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) with seven teams ranked among the top-three in the 11 CAA-sponsored sports in which the university competes. William & Mary had seven teams in the top three.
