Dartmouth Tops Graduation Rankings . . . Again
From a Dartmouth release:The NCAA has released its annual student-athlete graduation rate survey, and Dartmouth College once again has been shown to lead the nation in Graduation Success Rate (GSR). With a GSR of 99 percent for student-athletes who began college in 2008, Dartmouth led Division I institutions for a fourth straight year, tying with Samford for the top spot.
Of the 24 NCAA-sponsored sports at Dartmouth, 19 had a perfect 100 percent GSR, as did the remainder of the non-NCAA-sponsored sports.
