WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The NCAA announced earlier this week that all 18 Purdue teams are above the 930 Academic Progress Rate (APR) threshold for the 12th consecutive year. The APR is an annual scorecard of academic achievement calculated for all Division I athletic departments, an area in which Purdue Athletics has built a reputation for earning strong scores.
All 18 Boilermaker athletic programs posted scores above 960, with Women's Cross Country and Volleyball maintaining a perfect 1,000 multiyear APR, which is the rolling four-year average of the most recent academic terms.
Fourteen squads maintained or improved their multiyear rates from a year ago: baseball (982 vs. 976), men's basketball (979 vs. 979), women's cross country (1,000 vs. 1,000), football (976 vs. 974), women's golf (985 vs. 984), softball (991 vs. 986), men's swimming and diving (994 vs. 994), women's swimming and diving (998 vs. 998), men's tennis (992 vs. 986), women's tennis (992 vs. 992), men's track & field (963 vs. 962), women's track & field (985 vs. 978), volleyball (1,000 vs. 1,000) and wrestling (986 vs. 981).
Additionally, nine teams posted 1,000 for the most recent recorded year (2022-23), including men's basketball, women's cross country, women's golf, men's swimming and diving, women's swimming and diving, women's tennis, women's track & field, volleyball and wrestling.
