ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Twenty-one of Navy's 24 NCAA sponsored varsity sports programs are above the national average in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate released today.
Every Division I program across the nation calculates its APR (academic progress rate) each academic year, which is similar to a report card. Recruited student-athletes each semester earn one point for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. The most recent APR scores are multi-year rates based on the scores from the 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 academic years. National aggregates are based on all teams with usable data at the time of analysis.
