Holy Cross Athletics Ranks Third in the Country in Graduation Success Rate

The College of the Holy Cross’ athletic teams are tied for third in the nation with an overall graduation rate of 98 percent, according to the Graduation Success Rate Report, which has been released by the NCAA. Holy Cross’ overall Graduation Success Rate of 98 percent for all student-athletes ranked behind only two other schools in all of Division I: Dartmouth and Samford at 99 percent. The data used to calculate the Graduation Success Rate is from the four-class aggregate of entering classes from 2005 through 2008, for which the NCAA has compiled sport-by-sport figures.

“Our student-athletes continue to achieve at exceptional levels in the classroom,” said Holy Cross director of athletics Nathan Pine. “It is a thrill to see Holy Cross recognized nationally for this important academic metric. The Graduation Success Rates we celebrate each year are the direct result of the exceptional efforts our student-athletes commit to their academic endeavors.”
