The number of student-athletes at the University of Minnesota who graduate is at an all-time high.
This month, the school announced a 93 percent graduation rate for these athletes, a dramatic increase from just more than a decade ago...
The latest data shows the University of Minnesota ranks tied for second among all Big-Ten schools for NCAA Graduation success rates.
"I'm not sure how much higher we can go but we obtained 93 percent this year and it's really fantastic," said J.T. Bruett, director of the Lindahl Academic Center at the University of Minnesota.
This is a major improvement for the University of Minnesota. That's because when the NCAA first tracked this number in 2005, only 68 of student-athletes graduated from the University of Minnesota, the worst rate in the Big-Ten.
"I think we identified that we needed to do better," Bruett said.
J.T. Bruett is the director of the Lindahl Academic Center at the University of Minnesota and is seeing the transformation first hand.
"We've made tremendous strides probably over the last 10 to 15 years," Bruett said.
Bruett believes the recent success starts with the type of students they recruit, leading to a strong learning environment for everyone. ..
