OMAHA, Neb. - Eleven Creighton University teams posted perfect Graduation Success Rates and all 14 Bluejay programs performed at 85 percent or higher according to figures released by the NCAA. Creighton had an overall GSR score of 96 percent, which was tied for 43rd-best nationally.

The GSR data shows the percentage of student-athletes receiving athletics aid and earning a degree within six years of entering college. The GSR formula removes from the rate student-athletes who leave school while academically eligible and includes student-athletes who transfer to a school after initially enrolling elsewhere. This calculation provides a more accurate appraisal of student-athlete success.
