DURHAM – Thirteen Duke University varsity athletics programs registered a perfect 1000 score in the most recent multi-year (2016-21) Academic Progress Report (APR) data released on Tuesday by the NCAA.
In all, Duke totaled the highest APR score among ACC institutions in 14 of the league's sports – men's cross country (1000), men's golf (1000), men's lacrosse (1000), men's soccer (1000), men's tennis (1000), men's track & field (1000), women's cross country (1000), women's fencing (1000), women's golf (1000), women's soccer (1000), women's swimming & diving (1000), women's track & field (1000), volleyball (1000) and baseball (997).
By program, Duke's remaining scores were rowing (997), field hockey (996), wrestling (996), women's lacrosse (996), men's swimming & diving (992), women's tennis (992), softball (991), men's fencing (990), women's basketball (990), football (985) and men's basketball (958).
Duke ranked second among ACC schools with its 13 programs achieving a perfect 1000 score, trailing only Notre Dame's 14. Duke was ahead of North Carolina (8), NC State (7), Clemson (6), Louisville (5), Syracuse (5), Virginia Tech (5), Virginia (4), Boston College (3), Florida State (3), Miami (3), Wake Forest (3), Georgia Tech (1) and Pittsburgh (1).
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 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2020-21 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.
The NCAA did not release APR data in 2019-20 due to the COVID pandemic.
