MUNCIE, Ind. – For the second straight year, Ball State University student-athletes have matched their institutional record with a graduation success rate (GSR) of 93 percent, according to Wednesday's report released by the NCAA. The 93 percent GSR reflects the fifth straight year that Ball State student-athletes have eclipsed a 90 percent rate and at least matched their program record.
Student-athletes' steady rise in graduation success rate at Ball State mirrors a national trend, with the NCAA announcing a six-year overall rate of 91% among Division I student-athletes who entered college in 2017.
Ball State student-athletes first reached the 90 percent plateau with rates released by the NCAA in 2020, and then matched that figure a year later.
