INDIANAPOLIS (May 2, 2023) – The NCAA released its 2021-22 Academic Progress Rate (APR) figures and six of Washington State University’s intercollegiate athletic programs posted perfect single-year APR scores, it was announced Tuesday.
“I continue to be impressed with our student-athletes ability to thrive in their sport as well as academically,” said WSU Faculty Athletics Representative Nancy Swanger. “In the ever-changing world of college athletics, they continue to excel and we are so proud of all their successes.”
The APR is an annual assessment of each team’s academic and retention history. The overall APR score is based on the most recent four years of data (2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22). Every year thereafter, the most current year’s data will be added and the oldest year of data will be removed, creating a four-year rolling rate.
