Travis Bader (No. 3) of Oakland University holds the Division I record.

A three-point field goal (also known as a "three-pointer" or "3-pointer") is a field goal in a basketball game, made from beyond the three-point line, a designated arc radiating from the basket. A successful attempt is worth three points, in contrast to the two points awarded for shots made inside the three-point line. The members on this list are the top 25 in 3-point field goals made in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I competition. The statistic was first recognized in the 1986–87 season when 3-point field goals were officially instituted by the NCAA.[1] From the 1986–87 season through the 2007–08 season, the three-point perimeter was marked at 19 ft 9 in (6.02 m) for both men's and women's college basketball.[2] On May 3, 2007, the NCAA men's basketball rules committee passed a measure to extend the distance of the men's three-point line back to 20 ft 9 in (6.32 m), while the women's line would remain the same.[2]

The all-time leader in three-point field goals made is Travis Bader of Oakland. He made 504 threes in 1,246 attempts (40.5%) in his four-year career. The career record for three-point attempts is also held by Bader. Only one player in the top 25 all-time earned his way onto this list in only three seasons: Stephen Curry of Davidson played from 2006–07 through 2008–09 but left for the National Basketball Association (NBA) after his junior season. Curry also played in the fewest games (104) out of all of the other players in the top 25 and currently ranks seventh all-time.

Four players split their collegiate careers at two schools apiece: Keith Veney, who made 409 threes, first played at Lamar before transferring to Marshall; Akeem Richmond, who made 416, started at Rhode Island before transferring to East Carolina; Rotnei Clarke, who made 389, played three seasons at Arkansas before transferring to Butler for his final season; and Robert Vaden, who made 379, started at Indiana before transferring to UAB. The player with the highest three-point percentage for his career on this list is Kyle Korver of Creighton (45.3%), while Joe Zeglinski of Hartford has the lowest (34.5%). Only one school (UMKC) has two different players represented in this list.
