POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – A total of 15 Marist programs earned a perfect 100 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR), according to data released by the NCAA on Wednesday.
 
The programs to earn a 100 score are baseball, men's basketball, men's lacrosse, men's soccer, men's tennis, men's cross country/track, women's basketball, women's rowing, women's lacrosse, softball, women's soccer, women's swimming & diving, women's tennis, women's cross country/track, and volleyball.
 
The total of 15 programs sets a new school record. The previous record of 12 was accomplished in 2022-23 and 2008-09.
 
The 15 programs earning a 100 GSR places Marist at the top of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Marist posted an overall GSR score of 98, which is tied for first in the conference.
 
The MAAC's 96 percent rate was two percent higher than last year. This score placed the MAAC in a three-way tied for third among all 32 NCAA Division I conferences.
 
The NCAA GSR report gives graduation information for students and student-athletes who entered college in 2016, the most recent class for which the required six years of information is available. It also breaks down the GSR by sport, using a four-year class average (2013-16) called a cohort rate to provide a big enough sample. 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.
