PHILADELPHIA – Drexel had eight teams achieve a perfect score on the 2022-23 Academic Progress Rate (APR), which was announced today. Five of Drexel's women's teams and three of the men's teams had perfect scores.
On the women's side, basketball, lacrosse, rowing, softball and tennis earned a score of 1000. For the men, basketball, golf and tennis were at 1000. Women's basketball, women's lacrosse, women's tennis, men's tennis and golf scored 1000 in last year's APR report as well.
Drexel had two teams with a multi-year rate of 1000. The teams earning that distinction were women's tennis and men's tennis, both of whom accomplished the feat last year as well.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
Each academic year, every Division I sports team across the country calculates its APR using a simple and consistent formula. Each term, scholarship student-athletes can earn one point for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. For schools that do not offer scholarships, recruited student-athletes are tracked. The Academic Performance Program has established an essential framework for academic excellence. The program provides measurable goals to ensure schools are fulfilling their commitment of equipping student-athletes with the tools and resources necessary to achieve academic success.
