DURHAM, N.C.— Nine Duke University varsity athletics programs registered a perfect 1000 score in the most recent multi-year (2015-19) Academic Progress Report (APR) data released on Tuesday by the NCAA.
In all, Duke totaled the highest APR score among ACC institutions in 11 of the league's sports – men's golf (1000), men's lacrosse (998), men's soccer (1000), wrestling (991), women's cross country (1000), women's fencing (1000), women's soccer (1000), women's swimming & diving (1000), women's tennis (1000), women's track & field (1000), volleyball (1000).
By program, Duke's remaining scores were baseball (994), field hockey (996), football (986), men's basketball (958), men's cross country (990), men's fencing (994), men's swimming & diving (995), men's tennis (990), men's track & field (995), softball (978), women's basketball (973), women's golf (990), women's lacrosse (996) and rowing (994).
Duke ranked second among ACC schools with its nine programs achieving a perfect 1000 score, trailing only Notre Dame's 13. Duke was ahead of North Carolina (7), Syracuse (5), NC State (5), Florida State (4), Virginia Tech (4), Boston College (4), Louisville (4), Miami (4), Virginia (4), Wake Forest (4), Clemson (3), Georgia Tech (2) and Pittsburgh (1).
Last week, 10 Duke varsity athletics programs were honored by the NCAA for placing among the top 10 percent in their respective sports nationally in the latest multi-year APR report. The Blue Devils' men's golf, men's lacrosse, men's soccer, women's cross country, women's fencing, women's soccer, women's swimming & diving, women's tennis, women's track & field and women's volleyball programs were among those listed by the NCAA. Duke's women's fencing and men's golf programs have earned the honor in all 15 years of the NCAA's academic program.
Each year, the NCAA tracks the classroom performance of student-athletes on every Division I team through the annual scorecard of academic achievement, known as APR. The score measures eligibility and retention each semester or quarter and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. The most recent APRs are multi-year rates based on scores from the 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 academic years. Beginning with 2012-13 championships, teams were required to post a minimum 900 four-year average APR or a 930 average over the most recent two years to be eligible to participate. For 2014-15 championships, teams were required to earn a 930 four-year average APR or a 940 average over the most recent two years to participate in championships. Beginning in 2015-16, teams must earn a four-year APR of 930 to compete in championships.
