NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt Athletics continues to excel in the NCAA Academic Progress Rates (APR), highlighted by five Commodore programs recording a perfect mark in the most recent report released by the organization on Tuesday.
In addition to Vandy’s bowling, women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf and lacrosse programs posting a score of 1,000, the Dores had six more teams—baseball, soccer, swimming, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s track and field—also end up above the national NCAA Division I average of 984.
Each academic year, every Division I sports team’s APR is calculated using a simple and consistent formula. Scholarship student-athletes can earn one point for staying on course for a degree in their chosen major and one point for being retained (or graduating) at the end of each academic term. Current APR scores were based on marks from the 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years.
