INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Delaware Department of Athletics, Community, and Campus Recreation (DACCR) tallied impressive Academic Performance Rate (APR) data for the 2023-24 cohort, the NCAA announced Tuesday.
Overall, the department posted a 991 average institutional single-year score for the 2023-24 academic year. Factored into that are 12 of 20 perfect scores of 1,000 by varsity programs. For multi-year APR, the Blue Hens averaged 988.5, with five teams (men's golf, women's golf, women's soccer, women's tennis, and volleyball) touting a perfect 1,000 multi-year score. Those five programs also rank in the top 10-percent in the nation.
"I'm continually impressed with the effort our student-athletes and coaches put forward," Interim Director of Athletics, Community, and Campus Recreation Jordan Skolnick said. "This further shows the investment they put in to being well-rounded Blue Hens. This wouldn't be possible without the collaboration and support of our faculty and staff and their dedication to our students."
Each academic year, every division I program across the country calculates its APR using a simple and consistent formula set by the NCAA. Each term, scholarship student-athletes can earn one point for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. For schools that do not offer scholarships, recruited student-athletes are tracked.
