INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. --- The NCAA released the latest Division I graduation rate data, including the division's Graduation Success Rate (GSR), and Lobo athletics fared well. UNM's Student-Athlete Graduation Success Rate was 79%, and the four-year class average was 57%, nine points higher than the general student population. The official GSR report for the University of New Mexico can be found here.
The national GSR for the entering class of 2011 increased one point to 88 percent. The Division I Board of Directors created the GSR in response to Division I college and university presidents who wanted data that more accurately reflected the mobility of college students than the federal graduation rate.
