TROY, N.Y. – Over the past seven academic years, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) ranks fourth in the entire nation and second in Division III in the number of student-athletes chosen for CoSIDA National Academic All-America honors. From 2000-01 to 2007-08, Rensselaer has produced 56 National Academic All-Americans.

The University of Nebraska and the University of Notre Dame have had the most CoSIDA National Academic All-Americans over the past seven years with 76 apiece. Emory University, a Division III school, is third with 67, followed by Rensselaer’s 56 and Pennsylvania State University, which has had 52.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with 49 recipients and Calvin College with 45 – both Division III schools – rank sixth and seventh, respectively. Four schools are tied for eighth with 43 apiece.

By individual sport, Rensselaer is fifth overall and second among Division III schools with 10 men’s track & field/cross country recipients since 2000-01. Calvin has the most with 13, followed by the University of Oregon and North Dakota State (12 each) and Notre Dame (11).
