Bobcat Athletics Flexes Academic Muscle Richter Recognized

Georgia College & State University student-athletes got the job done once again this year.

The Bobcats posted a 94% Academic Success Rate (ASR), tops among NCAA Division II public schools. The ASR is the percentage of student-athletes who graduate within six years of initial collegiate enrollment and includes virtually all Division II student-athletes.

This marks the third-straight year Georgia College Athletics earned the NCAA’s Presidents’ Award for Academic Excellence. The NCAA Division II Presidents’ Award is presented to all member schools earning an ASR of 90% or better. 2022 marked the second-straight season Georgia College student athletes led all Division II public schools in this important academic measuring stick.

The Division II ASR includes transfers into a school in the calculation and removes transfers out who left school while academically eligible. The ASR also includes the more than 31,000 non-scholarship student-athletes who were enrolled in the four years covered in the most recent data.

94% Academic Success Rate
