LONG BEACH, Calif. – For the second consecutive year, all 19 sports at Long Beach State met the minimum standard for the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores announced Tuesday by the NCAA for the four-year period ending in 2023-24.
 
Four programs had perfect scores and received APR Public Recognition Awards for finishing in the Top 10 percent of all squads in each sport. Men’s Cross Country, Women’s Golf and Women’s Tennis each received the honor for the second straight season since the award’s reimplementation post COVID, and Men’s Golf joined them, also with a score of 1000.
 

In total, each of the 17 programs tracked were over the minimum standard of 930 (Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field are combined) and 13 programs had a score over 970.
 
The APR was developed by the NCAA in 2004 to measure the academic progress and performance of athletic programs at its member institutions. The APR is determined by using the eligibility and retention for each student-athlete on scholarship during a particular academic year. Student-athletes are awarded one point for each semester they are enrolled and one point for each semester they are eligible for intercollegiate competition. A student-athlete can earn a maximum of two points per semester and a maximum of four points during an academic year.
 
The APR is calculated by taking the number of possible points for a particular sport and dividing that number by the total number of points earned from student-athlete retention and eligibility over the same period of time. The percentage is then multiplied by 1,000 to get the actual APR. The minimum APR academic standard for each team is 930.
 
The NCAA does not penalize an institution for student-athletes who remain academically eligible but did not return to the institution due to circumstances beyond the student and/or institution’s control. Examples of this include student-athletes who leave to pursue professional athletics, suffer from incapacitating physical or mental illness, or experience extreme financial difficulties as the result of a specific event such as a death in the family.
 
Complete information on the 2023-24 APR Report can be found at the NCAA’s website, NCAA.org.

TALLAHASSEE – Florida State Athletics has earned a school-record single-year Academic Progress Rate of 992, it was announced Tuesday.
               
“Attaining a record-high APR score is a tremendous achievement and very meaningful,” Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford said. “It’s a result of sustained excellence and collaborative efforts by our student-athletes, coaches, academic support staff and faculty. It’s a true testament to the commitment of our University to fulfilling our mission of preparing students for success in life.”
 
Florida State had 11 of its 20 sports post a perfect single-year APR score for the 2023-24 academic year. Beach volleyball, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, men’s golf, women’s golf, softball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, women’s track and field and volleyball all earned a 1,000 score. Football and baseball also earned elite single-year scores of 997 and 990, respectively.

The NCAA also released multi-year APR scores, and six of FSU’s programs earned a perfect 1,000 score over the four-year span concluding with the 2023-24 academic year, breaking the previous FSU record of five perfect programs set in 2022-23. Women’s golf earned a perfect score for the 15th straight year, while women’s tennis earned its eighth straight perfect APR mark. Volleyball posted a perfect score for the fourth year in a row and sixth time in program history, and beach volleyball posted a perfect score for the second consecutive year and fifth time in program history. Softball had a perfect 1,000 for the second time in program history and first time since the initial release in 2004-05. The women’s swimming and diving team earned its first perfect score one year after a then-program-best 998.

 

Four additional programs earned a score of 990 or higher. Men’s basketball and men’s tennis both posted scores of 994, placing men’s basketball third among ACC programs. Football and women’s soccer both earned scores of 990. For football, it stands as a program-best score for the third straight report and was the fourth-highest score in the ACC, the top conference in this year’s report. Baseball posted a program-high 979, and its last two years have resulted in two of the three highest scores in the APR era.

  

The APR was established to recognize institutions for the academic progress of their student-athletes through a team-based metric that accounts for the eligibility and retention of each student-athlete for each academic term.
