COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou Athletics will see 22 student-athletes graduate this weekend, Dec. 15-17, at the University of Missouri's annual December commencement ceremonies.
University of Missouri student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom, according to the most-recent data compiled by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Six Mizzou teams; baseball, women's basketball, women's golf, gymnastics, women's tennis and volleyball, registered Southeastern Conference-leading Graduation Success Rate (GSR) scores in their respective sports, and five other programs ranked among the league's top three in their respective sport. Mizzou's GSR of 91 ranked third in the SEC behind Vanderbilt (96) and South Carolina (93). The score is a three-point improvement over last year's then-record tying score of 88, and marked the 11th-consecutive year it either improved or matched its previous year score.
The NCAA also released its annual student-athlete Federal Graduation Rates survey, and Mizzou's 72 percent rate for its student-athletes was the SEC's second-best mark, behind Vanderbilt's league-leading 86 percent rate, and equaled the highest mark in program history (72 percent in 2014-15). Mizzou's student-athlete graduation rate was three points higher than the University's average for all students during that same time frame.
