SAN DIEGO — Ten of the University of San Diego's 16 athletic programs posted a perfect 1000 single-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) and three Torero teams earned a perfect 1000 multi-year APR for the most recent reporting period, the NCAA announced on Tuesday.

San Diego men's cross country, women's swimming and diving, and women's volleyball led the way with perfect multi-year scores. Joining those three programs with a perfect 1000 single-year APR for 2024-25 were men's basketball, men's golf, women's basketball, women's cross country, softball, women's tennis, and women's track and field.

USD's athletic department posted a multi-year APR of 992, with every sponsored sport comfortably above the NCAA's minimum benchmark of 930.

Implemented in 2003 as part of an ambitious academic reform effort in Division I, the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate (APR) holds institutions accountable for the academic progress of their student-athletes through a team-based metric that accounts for the eligibility and retention of each student-athlete for each academic term.

The APR system, for which data are collected annually, includes rewards for superior academic performance.

Each institution's APR is calculated by taking the number of possible points for a particular sport and dividing that number by the total number of points earned from student-athlete retention and eligibility over the same period of time. The percentage is then multiplied by 1,000 to get the actual APR.
