RUSTON – Louisiana Tech student-athletes showcased their success in the classroom again with high marks on the latest NCAA Academic Progress Rates (APR).
 
In the release made public on Tuesday, all 16 of LA Tech's Division I programs remained penalty free while also registering six perfect 1,000 single-year APR scores for the 2022-23 academic year as well as recording its highest ever multi-year average of 982.
 
Programs posting a perfect single-year rating were Men's Cross Country (sixth consecutive year), Men's Golf (fourth straight year), Men's Track (highest ever), Women's Basketball (third time in last five years), Bowling (14th time ever), and Tennis (eighth time in the last 11 years).
 
Men's Cross Country and Golf also achieved a perfect 1,000 multi-year rate while Volleyball tallied 995, all three setting program highs.  In all, ten programs achieved a multi-year rate of at least 980.  The multi-year rates are based on scores from the 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23 academic years.
 
The Academic Progress Rate measures the eligibility, retention, and graduation of student-athletes competing on every Division I sports team and serves as a predictor of graduation success.
