I would like to dedicate this study to every student-athlete who never thought they could accomplish anything outside of their sport. You can do anything you put your mind to and you are more than just an athlete!
I would like to take the time to thank Rowan University for the opportunity to pursue my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree at the place I love most. I also would like to thank my professors who have supported me throughout this journey. Dr. Stephanie Lezotte has been a pivotal figure in writing and conducting this research and I am extremely grateful ...
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not college student athletes at a Mid-Atlantic university perform better academically during their respective competitive season. This will be done by doing a quantitative study that looks closer at the potential relationship between having a more structured schedule during a student athlete’s ...
The research questions for this study are: Is the GPA range of a student athlete higher of lower during their competitive season? My hypothesis for this question is that it is higher. Which gender is more likely to have a better GPA during their competitive season? My hypothesis is females will perform better academically. The beginning research qu...
There will be four additional chapters for this research study. Chapter two takes a deep dive into the review of the literature that explains the importance of this topic. It will also highlight what previous research has found so far regarding this topic and where the research can be taken. This chapter also includes the research regarding reasons...
The overall purpose of this study is to research whether student athletes who are in college perform better academically during their respective competitive seasons. Therefore, this research study used a quantitative methodology to examine the academic performance of student athletes at Rowan University. Specifically, I conducted a means study and ...

Rowan University should develop some sort of tutoring program and designate a tutoring space where student athletes can receive one on one tutoring in subjects they are struggling in. Rowan University should implemen...
Due to the findings of this study, these are the recommendations for future research: Researchers should consider conducting a qualitative study and ask student athletes why they believe they are doing well or poorly in their competitive season. Researchers should consider increasing the sample size and generalizability by surveying student athlete...
