[ICPSR] NCAA Student-Athlete Experiences Data Archive

[Robbin Gonzalez]

The ICPSR is pleased to announce the public availability of the
Student-Athlete Experiences Data Archive
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/NCAA/>  from the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
 
The NCAA collects a wealth of data from its member institutions and
their student-athletes. The Student-Athlete Experiences Data Archive
includes user-friendly data collections related to graduation rates;
team-level Academic Progress Rates in Division I; and individual-level
data on the experiences of current and former student-athletes from the
NCAA's Growth, Opportunities, Aspirations and Learning of Students in
college study (GOALS), and the Study of College Outcomes and Recent
Experiences (SCORE). In the long run, the NCAA expects to follow this
initial release with the publication of as much data as possible from
its archives.
 
These data represent a valuable source of information for addressing a
variety of issues related to both intercollegiate athletics and higher
education generally. These data are collected to help answer research
questions posed by college presidents, athletics personnel, faculty,
student-athlete groups, the media, researchers and others in the higher
education community and to assist in the development of national
athletics policies.

first to be released. Team level academic performances can be obtained
by division, by conference, and by school.
