Temple Athletics' Single Year APR Ranks Third Among NCAA Division I FBS Schools
5.19.20 | General
PHILADELPHIA - Temple Athletics has yet again raised the bar for academic success as the department recorded a single-year Academic Performance Rate (APR) that ranks third in NCAA Division I among Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) institutions, and tied for sixth in multiyear APR.
The Owls' average single-year APR for 2018-19 was 996, topped only by Stanford (997) and Minnesota (997). In addition, after most recently ranking eighth in multiyear APR among FBS institutions, Temple's average multiyear APR of 993 is now tied for sixth behind Northwestern, Stanford, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, and Navy. The multiyear rate includes data from 2015-16 through 2018-19. It is also noteworthy that Temple and Northwestern are the only two FBS schools with all teams above 980.
The NCAA released its Division I APR data on Tuesday, a week after 10 Temple programs were recipients of the NCAA's Academic Performance Program (APP) Public Recognition, honoring the top 10 percent of Division I teams across the nation for their multiyear academic performance. The Owls' 10 teams were the most in the American Athletic Conference, and broke their own record set over the past two years.
"These outstanding APR numbers continue an important run of achievement in the classroom for our student-athletes," said Temple University Director of Athletics Dr. Patrick Kraft. "Congratulations to all of our Owls for their tremendous academic accomplishments, and to Senior Associate AD Justin Miller and his academic team, as well as our coaches, for their hard work in making Temple one of the top universities for student-athlete success." Â
Temple's multiyear APR of 992 for its American Athletic Conference sports is the highest among all full members of the conference. Ten teams ranked at the top in their respective sports and 13 ranked in the top three.Â
The Owls' football program also continues to post outstanding numbers in the NCAA data, and is now the only FBS program with a multi-year APR that has never decreased. Temple football's APR remains tied 14th among FBS institutions.
In last week's APP release, Temple men's tennis was recognized for the eighth year in a row, while men's cross country and women's tennis made the list for a sixth-straight year. Men's basketball, women's cross country, and women's soccer were all honored by the NCAA for a fourth consecutive year. Women's volleyball makes its second-straight appearance on the list with women's fencing, women's gymnastics and women's lacrosse rounding out the Owls' 10 honored programs.
