According to Seton Hall Athletics, the cumulative GPA for student-athletes is at an all-time high for the 11th semester in a row.
Pirate athletes compiled an average team GPA of 3.380 this past fall semester, while the average student GPA climbed to 3.353.
For context, SHU requires a minimum GPA of 3.3 for the University’s Honors Program. Combined, the athletes are performing at that level.
Additionally, the minimum GPA required to remain eligible is 2.0. Seton Hall athletes are blowing that number out of the water.
“Academic excellence has long been at the heart of what it means to be a Pirate and we could not be more proud of the work our current student-athletes and academic support staff are doing to further that tradition,” Vice President and Director of Athletics & Recreational Services Pat Lyons in a SHU Athletics press release.
