Huskers Recognized for Academic Success

The Nebraska rifle team has been recognized for its continued success in the classroom, winning a national accolade announced on Tuesday.
 
The rifle program earned national recognition from the NCAA for its standing in the organization's Academic Progress Rate (APR). The Huskers were honored for ranking in the top 10 percent in the APR among all rifle programs nationally. The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship.  The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance. 
 
Nebraska has a long history of academic success and achievement across all of its sports.  Nebraska leads the nation in CoSIDA Academic All-Americans across all sports and all divisions with 338 all-time honorees. Last fall, Nebraska posted a 93 percent NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR), which for the seventh consecutive year, was the highest in school history.
