PEORIA, Ill. -- The NCAA recently released the latest Division I Graduation Success Rate (GSR) data and Bradley student-athletes continue to garner national recognition for their academic achievements.

Nine of Bradley's 15 teams (Men's Basketball, Men's Golf, Women's Basketball, Women's Cross Country, Women's Indoor Track, Women's Outdoor Track, Women's Softball and Women's Tennis and Volleyball) boasted 100 percent Graduation Success Rates in the most recent cohort, per the NCAA release on Wednesday, Dec. 6. In addition to the eight teams with a perfect 100 percent GSR, six teams (Baseball, Men's Cross Country, Men's Indoor Track, Men's Outdoor Track, Women's Golf and Soccer) match or exceed the national average for their respective sport. Every Bradley program earned an 89 percent or higher GSR. 

The latest GSR includes all student-athletes who entered Bradley as freshmen between 2013 and 2016 and earned their degree within six years. 

This is the fifth consecutive year in which Bradley's teams earned a 96 percent GSR rate. 

The GSR formula removes from the federal rate student-athletes who leave school while academically eligible and includes student-athletes who transfer to a school after initially enrolling elsewhere. This calculation makes it a more complete and accurate look at student-athlete success.
