MANHATTAN, Kan. – Five Wildcat programs recorded Big 12-best graduation rate figures and K-State's all-sport GSR score of 93 percent ties for the highest mark in school history as the NCAA released its latest graduation rate data.

K-State's men's golf (100), women's golf (100), tennis (100), women's track and field (100) and volleyball (100) programs all had perfect and Big 12-leading GSR figures. Football also ranked fourth among Big 12 schools (94).
 
The school's all-sport mark was seventh among current Big 12 membership and matched the program-best 93 percent figures from the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.

GSR was created in 2002 in response to Division I college and university presidents who wanted data that more accurately reflected the mobility of college students beyond what the federal graduation rate measures. The federal rate counts any student who leaves a school as an academic failure, even if the student enrolls at another school. Also, the federal rate does not recognize students who enter schools as transfer students.


The GSR formula removes from the rate student-athletes who leave school while academically eligible and includes student-athletes who transfer to a school after initially enrolling elsewhere. This calculation provides a more accurate measurement of student-athlete success.
