    Default Ndsu apr

    Just saw a tweet from Matt Larsen saying that NDSU had the highest Academic Progress Rate (APR) in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Still room for improvement, of course.

    So does a lower rate mean the school is better overall and needs less improvement...
    Maybe its not good to be on the top of this list. I thinking I am wrong but who knows.

    Higher is better. 930 is the equivalent of a 50% graduation rate. 1000 is 100%.

    Is getting a D grade better than getting an A? No, its not.

    Higher is better. 1000 is the best you can do - and Men's Golf and Women's Golf both got 1000.

    Since it's education, wouldn't it be better to say Men's and Women's Golf both received/earned 1000 rather than "got"?

    The "Flagship" at 941, next to last when compared to Valley schools. Probably about where they are going to be in the football standings when they join the conference.

    Holy smokes, we are even ahead of SDSU. They make it sound like to get an good education, you go there. To play football, you go to NDSU.
