Nebraska once again scored well in the NCAA’s annual analysis of graduation rates among college athletes. 

The latest round of data released by the NCAA shows NU posted a 94% graduation success rate, marking the eighth straight year the Huskers improved upon the school record, and the third straight year above 90%. 

Nebraska had 13 programs hit perfect marks, according to a school news release: men’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s gymnastics, men’s tennis, rifle, women’s basketball, women’s golf, women’s gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, women’s tennis and volleyball. 

The high rate is nothing new for volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s tennis — all three sports have hit perfect marks in each of the 16 years that the NCAA has put together the GSR ratings. 

Nebraska’s football program checked in at 88%, which ranks No. 10 among public schools in the Power Five conferences and outpaces the Football Bowl Subdivision average of 80%. 

According to NU, “The GSR allows for a six-year window in which the student-athlete can earn his or her degree. Although the GSR includes student-athletes who transferred to Nebraska, it does not count student-athletes who transferred to another school and were academically eligible at the time of their transfer.”
