MONROE, La. — The ULM men’s golf program has been recognized by the NCAA for its success in the
classroom.
The men’s golf team ranks in the top 10 percent nationally (of their sport), based
on the most recent multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR). The APR is an annual score
of academic achievement calculated for all Division I programs nationally.
“I am very proud of our team’s accomplishments academically,” said head coach Tim
Baldwin. “The guys put in a lot of work and it’s nice to see the program recognized
among the top 10 percent in the country.”
The scores required to be in the top 10 ranged from 983 to a perfect 1,000, depending
on the specific sport. All Division I teams’ APR scores will be released at a later
date. All teams must meet a certain academic threshold to qualify for the postseason
and can face penalties for continued low academic performance.
“Congratulations to the men’s golf team and Coach Baldwin,” stated Brian Wickstrom,
ULM’s director of athletics. “I am proud of the work our student-athletes continue
to do in the classroom, in competition and representing ULM in the community.”
The APR measures eligibility, graduation and retention each term and provides a clear
picture of the academic performance for each team in every sport. The most recent
APRs are multiyear rates based on scores from the 2011-2012, 2012-13, 2013-14 and
2014-15 academic years.
