UCLA

UCLA’s NCAA Academic Progress Rates (APR) remained at high levels for the 2020-21 through 2023-24 period, with three teams recognized as having rates in the top 10 percent of their sport. A total of 16 Bruin teams recorded scores above the national four-year rate of 984, and UCLA’s average multi-year rate for its 23 teams was 986. 

Each academic year, every Division I sports team’s APR is calculated using a simple and consistent formula. Scholarship student-athletes can earn points for staying on course for a degree in their chosen major and points for being retained (or graduating) at the end of each academic term. 

Three UCLA teams received recognition for having rates in the Top 10 percent of their sports. Beach volleyball, women’s cross country and women’s golf all earned perfect scores of 1,000 – beach volleyball for the eighth consecutive year and women’s cross country for the fourth straight year.

A total of 11 UCLA teams earned single-year perfect marks of 1,000 for the 2023-24 academic year – women’s basketball, beach volleyball, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, men’s golf, women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, women’s tennis, women’s track & field and women’s volleyball.
