MALIBU, Calif. – The Pepperdine University Athletics Department has posted a near-record Graduation Success Rate (GSR), which the NCAA released publicly today.
Â
The Waves boast an overall GSR rate of 95 percent, better than the national average of 91 percent. The newest GSR data covers student-athletes that enrolled between 2013 and 2017.
Â
The Waves' best-ever mark prior to this most recent report was 94 percent for the 2002-05 cohorts, and Pepperdine also scored a 93 among the 2003-06 and 2012-16 cohorts.
Â
Eleven of the Waves' programs had 100 percent GSR rates for this period: women's basketball, men's cross country and track, women's cross country and track, men's golf, women's golf, women's swimming and diving, women's soccer, women's tennis, men's volleyball, women's beach volleyball and men's water polo. Eight of those programs maintained a 100 percent rate from the previous report.
Â
The NCAA began compiling these figures with the entering freshman class of 1995 and developed the GSR in order to more accurately assess the academic success of student-athletes. The GSR includes transfer students and removes student-athletes who leave in good academic standing. The GSR measures graduation rates over six years from initial college enrollment.
