CLINTON, S.C. - Eight Presbyterian College Blue Hose athletics teams posted a perfect 1000 APR score for the 2024-25 academic year, as announced by the NCAA.

The APR is an annual scorecard of academic achievement calculated for all Division I sports teams. The APR report measures eligibility, graduation, and retention each semester or academic term, with student-athletes earning one point for staying on course for a degree in their chosen major, and one point for being retained (or graduating) at the end of each academic term. A team's total points are divided by points possible, and then multiplied by 1,000. The NCAA Division I Academic Performance Program helps ensure that schools fulfil their commitment to equipping student-athletes with the tools and resources necessary to achieve academic success.
