INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - The University of Minnesota Crookston athletic department received the Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence for the second-consecutive year. Minnesota Crookston also received the honor for 2023.
The Golden Eagles were one of just 43 NCAA Division II programs to receive the prestigious accolade from the NCAA. Minnesota Crookston joined Augustana University, and Concordia University-St. Paul as the only NSIC programs to receive the honor. The award is bestowed to programs with an Academic Success Rate of 90% or higher.
The Division II ASR includes transfers into a school in the calculation and removes those who transferred out of the school while academically eligible. The ASR also includes over 30,000 non-scholarship student-athletes in the division who were enrolled in the four years covered in the most recent data.
Even when using the less-inclusive federal graduation rate, student-athletes are outperforming their peers in the general student population by 6 percentage points. For Division II student-athletes, the federal rate is 59%, while the general student body federal rate is 53%.
