The NCAA has released its annual student-athlete graduation rate survey, and Dartmouth once again leads the nation in Graduation Success Rate (GSR). With a GSR of 99 percent for student-athletes who began college in 2008, Dartmouth led Division I institutions for a fourth straight year, tying with Samford University in Alabama for the top spot.
