PULLMAN, Wash. -- The NCAA released the latest Division I graduation rate data, including the division's Graduation Success Rate (GSR), which included a program-best score for Washington State Athletics.
Washington State's GSR score rose one percent to a record 87 percent, continuing a trend that has seen the Cougars improve their score in each of the past five years. Dating back to 2008 when WSU's GSR score was 77 percent, measured gains have been recorded with scores of 78% (2009), 80% (2010), 81% (2011), 86% (2012) and this year's 87%.
"The most recent data from the NCAA regarding graduation rates reaffirms the commitment from both our student-athletes and staff in support of WSU's academic mission," said WSU Director of Athletics Pat Chun.
