Comparison of Graduation Rates for Scholarship Athletes and All Students by Gender, Race, and Sport.
Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, Oklahoma City.
This report describes graduation rates for scholarship athletes in Oklahoma higher education institutions in eleven sports. It includes six-year graduation rates for fall 1991 first-time baccalaureate degree-seeking freshmen and three-year graduation rates for fall 1994 first-time freshmen seeking associate degrees. Institutions are grouped into three categories: comprehensive universities, regional universities, and two-year colleges. Comparisons to the three previous years are also included. For comprehensive universities, graduation rates for all students between 1994-1997 have increased from 40.9 to 50.7 percent and from 38.8 to 47.6 percent for athletes. For regional universities, the graduation rate for all students increased from 30.6 to 32.2 percent while the rate for athletes decreased from 40.5 to 38.1 percent. At two-year colleges, the graduation rate for all students decreased from 16.2 to 15.1 percent while the rate for athletes increased from 31.3 to 33.5 percent. Male athletes graduated at higher rates than the male students at the regional universities and two-year colleges. Female athletes graduated at higher rates than the female student population in all three institutional types. African-American athletes graduated at similar or higher rates than the African-American student population in the comprehensive universities and the two-year colleges. Caucasian athletes graduated at higher rates than the Caucasian student population at the regional universities and two-year colleges. Data are also listed by sport and institution.
