SALT LAKE CITY – 109 student-athletes from all 20 sports for the Utes graduated on May 4, earning their degrees after a week of celebrating high academic achievement across Utah Athletics.
The Utes finished the school year strong, both on and off the field, culminating in Utah’s commencement ceremony Thursday evening that featured the University of Utah’s largest graduating class in it’s history at 8,723. The ceremony recognized students earning undergraduate and graduate degrees during Fall semester 2022 as well as Spring and Summer semesters of 2023.
Utah Athletics has been graduating their student-athletes at a very high rate having recently earned a 93% rate in the latest NCAA GSR report released in November of last year. The Utes rank second in the Pac-12 in graduation rate only behind Stanford.
Compete and win at the highest level, and earn your degree. Culture of excellence!
