It is worth noting that the University of Utah has an exceptional record when it comes to student-athlete graduation rates. In the most recent NCAA GSR Report released in December 2023, Utah’s score stood at a remarkable 94%, marking the sixth consecutive year that the university has achieved a figure of 93% or higher. This places Utah second in the Pac-12 behind Stanford.
This achievement is a testament to the commitment to excellence both academically and athletically at the University of Utah. It shows that students can excel in both areas while pursuing their passions and achieving their goals. The graduates should be proud of their accomplishments and we wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
