Shippensburg University shapes its athletic pro- gram to fi t within the overall academic goals of the university—maintaining a balance between athletics and academics. Since 1984, the university’s Offi ce of Institutional Research has monitored the progress of our athletes in the classroom. The original study found that Shippensburg was ahead of many institutions in meeting the standards of Propositions 48 and 64 — two NCAA resolutions designed to set minimum educational levels in collegiate athletes. Proposition 64 of the NCAA established a mini- mum score of 700 in the SAT and a 2.0 grade point average in 11 core curriculum courses in high school. Proposition 48 carries these minimums even further and outlines availability of scholarships to freshmen athletes based on their school performance. Incoming freshmen athletes show preparation levels among public Division II schools, the graduation comparable to those of all incoming students.
