Twelve intercollegiate teams at the University of Maryland posted multiyear Academic Progress Rates (APR) at or above 975 based on data released Wednesday by the NCAA.
Football, which suffered a reduction of three scholarships for the 2011 season based on previous low APRs, has recovered significantly from a downward trend. Football increased its multiyear score from 922 to 931 and its single-year score from 905 to 972, as reported today.
“Academic performance is a core value of our athletics department at the University of Maryland,” said director of athletics Kevin Anderson. “Everyone in our department, including coaches and staff, has made a priority of ensuring our student-athletes achieve their goal of graduating with a Maryland degree.
“Congratulations to our academic support and career development staff for these strong numbers. We’re particularly pleased at the strong improvement in the single-year figure in football. While we always strive for improvement, the data released today shows we’re on the right track.”
