DURHAM, N.C. – Fourteen Duke University varsity athletics programs registered a perfect 1000 score in the most recent multi-year (2019-23) Academic Progress Report (APR) data released on Tuesday by the NCAA.
In all, Duke totaled the highest APR score among ACC institutions in 15 of the league's sports – field hockey (1000), men's cross country (1000), men's golf (1000), men's lacrosse (1000), men's soccer (1000), men's track and field (1000), wrestling (992), softball (1000), women's cross country (1000), women's fencing (1000), women's golf (1000), women's soccer (1000), women's swimming and diving (1000), women's track and field (1000) and volleyball (1000).
By program, the Blue Devils' remaining scores were baseball (997), football (987), men's basketball (933), men's fencing (996), men's swimming and diving (995), men's tennis (992), women's basketball (990), women's lacrosse (993), rowing (998) and women's tennis (991).
Duke ranked second among all ACC institutions with its 14 programs achieving a perfect 1000 score, narrowly trailing Notre Dame (15) and bettering NC State (11), Clemson (9), Boston College (7), North Carolina (6), Miami (5), Florida State (4), Georgia Tech (4), Louisville (4), Virginia (4), Wake Forest (3), Pittsburgh (2), Syracuse (2) and Virginia Tech (1).
The 14 teams with a perfect score are the second-most by Duke in a single season. A year ago, the Blue Devils achieved a school record 16 perfect team scores. The NCAA began reporting APR data in 2004-05.
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 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 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.
