CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – The Texas A&M Corpus Christi Athletic Department continued their success in the latest Academic Progress Rate (APR) with a score of 996 for the 2022-23 season, the NCAA announced.
The APR was created to provide a real-time measurement of academic success that is a team-based metric in which scholarship student-athletes earn one point each term for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. Schools that don't offer scholarships track their recruited student-athletes.
12 of A&M-Corpus Christi's teams earned perfect scores of 1,000 for the 2022-23 year, including Men's Basketball, Men's Cross Country, Men's Tennis, Women's Basketball, Women's Cross Country, Women's Golf, Softball, Women's Soccer, Women's Beach Volleyball, Women's Tennis, Women's Track, and Women's Volleyball.
The Islanders' 996 single-year rate for 2022-23 eclipsed average rates reported for all Division I schools (987) and surpassed all other Southland Conference Members.
In addition, four of A&M-Corpus Christi's teams posted perfect scores of 1,000 for their multiyear rate which brings together the four-year range from 2019-20 through 2022-23. Those four teams include Men's Cross Country, Men's Tennis, Women's Cross Country, and Women's Tennis.
This recognition is on top of the Southland Academic Performance Award the department won and the Women's All-Sports Award both for the third consecutive year
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi posted an overall multiyear rate of 991. The nationwide APR multiyear average was 984.
