Duke leads area schools in Graduation Success Rate

The Duke men’s basketball program posted a perfect score in the latest NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) scores, which the NCAA released earlier this week, and overall Duke led area ACC schools in GSR.

The Duke men’s basketball team posted a GSR of 100 percent. Its football team posted a score of 94 percent, and was one of four FBS schools to post a score of 93 percent or better in football.

The GSR is an NCAA-created metric that gives athletes six years from the time they enter school to graduate. GSR scores do not reflect the quality of an athlete’s educational experience, and do not include athletes who left an institution in good academic standing.
