Western Kentucky athletics continues to earn strong marks in the classroom in the latest Academic Progress Rate (APR) Annual Progress Report released by the NCAA on Tuesday.
The APR provides a real-time look at a program’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team’s academic performance. This year, the APR score was a multi-year average of the 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 academic years.
Every Hilltopper and Lady Topper program exceeded the NCAA’s mandated 930 minimum, and eight programs surpassed that threshold by 40 points or more.
