BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The NCAA announced the latest Graduation Success Rate (GSR) report data Thursday afternoon as well as Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) information for student-athletes who entered Lehigh in the 2017-2018 academic year. The data shows that Lehigh continues to graduate student-athletes at rates that are higher than the national average. The FGR and the GSR report only on student-athletes on our rosters that receive athletically related aid. The GSR differs from the FGR by discounting the reported population for those student-athletes that transfer directly to another higher education institution and are in good academic standing.Â
Â
Lehigh's GSR rates for student-athletes is 92 percent, up one percent from last year. The four-year FGR rose one percent to 93 percent, which is tops among Patriot League institutions. The six-year deadline for this class to complete their degree was August 31, 2023.
Â
"We are incredibly proud of our student-athletes, coaches, and administrative teams for prioritizing the holistic development of our student-athletes across all areas of distinctive achievement," said Lehigh Deputy Director of Athletics Sue Troyan. "These graduation rates are a reflection of their unwavering commitment to excellence in all that we do."
Â
Fourteen of Lehigh's varsity sport programs earned a perfect 100 percent GSR four-year graduation rate for the current report year: baseball, men's cross country and track and field, men's golf, men's soccer, men's tennis, women's basketball, women's cross country and track and field, women's rowing, field hockey, women's lacrosse, women's soccer, women's swimming and diving, women's tennis and volleyball.
