INDIANAPOLIS (NCAA/SMU) - Seven of SMU's 15 athletic programs scored a perfect 100 percent in the NCAA Graduation Success Rates (GSR) released by the organization this week. Across all programs, SMU recorded a 91% Student-Athlete Graduation Success Rate.

The programs that scored 100 percent were men's golf, women's basketball, cross country/track and field, women's soccer, women's swimming and diving, women's tennis and equestrian.

While SMU sponsors 17 sports, the NCAA issues a GSR for 15 of its programs, combining track and cross country into one program.

The Wednesday update is based on information obtained from the 2025 NCAA Graduation Rate Report. The report provides graduation information for students and student-athletes who entered in Fall 2015 through Fall 2018. These are the most recent graduating classes for which six years of information is available. A graduation rate (percent) is based on a comparison of the number of students who entered a college or university and the number of those who graduated within six years. For example, if 100 students entered and 60 graduated, the graduation rate is 60 percent. The four-class average includes those who entered as freshmen in 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19.
