Each year, approximately 100 students serve in University Success courses to come alongside first-year students as they acclimate to life as a Gov. Peer Leaders are extensively trained and play a pivotal role in the university's retention efforts. The Peer Leader Program also has an impact on student persistence to graduation. From 2021-2025, 96.1% of peer leaders received a degree (Associates or Bachelors) from APSU. 91.3% of peer leaders received a bachelor's degree, and 67% of Peer Leaders earned an associate's and a bachelor's degree.
