The Boston College Eagles are flying high when it comes to Graduation Success Rate.
According to information released by the NCAA on Wednesday, 21 athletic programs from Boston College received a perfect Graduation Success Rate score of 100. This is the second consecutive year that BC has led the nation as the Division I athletics program with the most teams recording a perfect score.
In addition to the 21 perfect scores, the BC football team recorded a total score of 90, and was one of just six Football Bowl Subdivision teams to earn a score of 90 or better.
"Once again, we are extremely proud of the accomplishments of our student-athletes in the classroom," Director of Athletics Gene DeFilippo said. "This goes to show we take the term 'student-athlete' very seriously at Boston College."
The long list of Boston College teams that tallied a perfect score of 100 include men’s baseball, fencing, golf, sailing, skiing, swimming and tennis along with women’s basketball, cross country/track, rowing, fencing, field hockey, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, sailing, skiing, soccer, softball, swimming and volleyball.
The NCAA developed the Graduation Success rate to accurately assess the success of student-athletes. This year marks the ninth year that Graduation Success Rate data have been collected.
