OUR PILLARS
Athletics
This year, we accomplished what few believed we could—we drew two extraordinarily talented and nationally recognized leaders home to take Miami Hurricanes athletics, and football in particular, to new heights. Our student-athletes never wavered in their quest for competition and pursuit of academic excellence. Explore highlights from our student-athletes and their supporters.
Miami placed 208 student-athletes on the 2021-22 ACC Honor Roll.
Spring 2022 marked the 17th consecutive semester in which our student-athletes averaged a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA, with 12 programs exceeding the 3.0 mark.
Our most recent NCAA Graduation Success Rate was 91 percent, and we posted a 987 in the latest NCAA Academic Progress Report, both scores higher than the NCAA academic unit requirement.
Nine programs achieved perfect NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores of 1,000—men’s basketball, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, men’s diving, golf, soccer, women’s swimming and diving, women’s tennis, and volleyball.
We posted a perfect score of 100 on the Athlete Ally Athletic Equality Index, a powerful testament to our institutional commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusion.
