The Rutgers football program scored a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 78 percent and a Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) of 55 percent in the latest report released Wednesday by the NCAA for all Division I institutions.
Rutgers' GSR percentage ranks 12th among 14 Big Ten football programs and tied for 59th nationally among Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
The GSR rate tracks graduation over six years, and the most recent figures are based on classes that entered Rutgers between 2008 and 2011.
The GSR does not penalize schools for outgoing transfer students who leave in good academic standing.
