It's always great when former players come back for their degrees.
Congrats to them, along with the others.

the current rate is for the freshman classes from 1999-2003. It also accounts for those who left early or transferred. OP did a great job getting his players through school.

Great to see that two, who were unable medically complete their sports careers get the diploma; Etta etta Tawo and Capote. That is great that Clemson and these two athletes stayed together to get their degrees.

Congrats to all and a question

Say a player finished and graduates 5 years or so after they left school because the were playing a pro sport or something. Does their graduation factor into the grad rate stats? What is the time limit on that. Thanks if you know.

I believe they have 6 years from the time they enroll...

so in your scenario, if they graduate 5 years after they left school, it would not count for our graduation rate.
I'm sure I will be corrected it this is wrong.

Glad to see them graduate. Sad lack of engineering & science

I'm happy to see our student-athletes graduate. But every year when I see their majors, I'm disappointed at the low percentage of science, math, & engineering majors-- especially among the Big-3 sports of football, basketball, & baseball. About 26% of Clemson students major in science, math, & engineering, (something our country desperately needs) but only 16% of our student-athletes and ZERO percent of our Big-3 athletes graduated in those majors. ZERO PERCENT??? WOW!
In that regard, I don't think that our student-athletes are much different than most schools (not the likes of Duke). But what a reality check.

student-athletes, do you realize how hard that is? For all the talk about bone-headed jocks who are just here to play ball and get their Communications degrees, we have to admit that football, basketball and baseball put an incredible amount of stress on a student's schedule.
I knew a baseball player when I was at school that majored in Mechanical Engineering. That was about all he did. Played ball, studied, FCA and slept. Brutal.
