Comparison of Graduation Rates for Scholarship Athletes and All Students by Gender, Race, and Sport.
Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, Oklahoma City.
This study compared the six-year college graduation rates of scholarship athletes with all students in the Oklahoma State System using data for fall 1990 first-time, full-time baccalaureate degree-seeking entering freshmen. The study also examined three-year graduation rates of fall 1993 freshmen seeking associate degrees. Graduation rates for scholarship athletes over the past three years remained stable at 38.8 percent at comprehensive universities, increased from 40.5 percent to 43.8 percent at regional universities, and decreased from 31.3 percent to 27.5 percent at two-year colleges. Male scholarship athletes graduated at lower rates than all male students at comprehensive universities and at higher rates at both regional universities and two-year colleges. Female scholarship athletes graduated at higher rates than all female students at all types of institutions. Caucasian athletes graduated at lower rates than all Caucasian students at comprehensive universities and at higher rates at both regional universities and two-year colleges. African American athletes graduated at the same rate as all African American students at comprehensive universities and at higher rates at both regional universities and two-year colleges. Athlete graduation rates exceeded the average in seven sports at the comprehensive institutions, eight sports at the regional universities, and four sports at two-year colleges. (DB)
