In 2024, Georgia Tech athletics once again set a new all-time record for the third-straight year by posting a 94% NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR). Prior to 2021, Georgia Tech had never achieved a GSR above 90% and prior to 2016, Tech never had a GSR above 85%. Georgia Tech’s 94% GSR is also higher than the national average of 90%, while 12 of the Yellow Jackets’ 13 teams – baseball, women’s basketball, men’s cross country/track & field, women’s cross country/track & field, football, golf, softball, men’s swimming & diving, women’s swimming & diving, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and volleyball – have individual team GSRs that are at or above the national average in their respective sports. Leading the way are seven programs – women’s basketball, golf, softball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and volleyball – that all have perfect 100% GSRs.
