ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE Utah Athletics strives for excellence in the classroom, competition and our community. In addition to a record-setting year in athletic competition, our nearly 600 student-athletes continued to demonstrate the culture of excellence that has become a hallmark of the Utes’ athletics programs. “When we talk about a culture of excellence, we apply that standard to every facet of our athletics department, and our student-athletes continue to raise the bar on those expectations. We are constantly inspired by their commitment to compete for championships, represent the university in the community, and most of all to excel in their academic endeavors and graduate. Every meaningful metric demonstrates their success, and we could not be prouder to celebrate their achievements.” - Mark Harlan GRADUATION SUCCESS RATE Ninety-three percent of student-athletes at the U graduated within six years of enrolling, according to the latest NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GRS) released in November.
