WKU athletics sets new records for semester, cumulative GPAs

Western Kentucky continues to set new standards in the classroom after wrapping the spring semester with record marks.

Despite transitioning to an online, alternative-learning format because of the COVID-19 pandemic, WKU student-athletes finished the term with a combined semester GPA of 3.27 – the highest in department history.

Additionally, the cumulative career GPA of all current student-athletes is 3.14, which is also the highest in the history of WKU athletics.

Twelve of WKU’s 14 sport programs have a team cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, and every program has a team cumulative GPA of 2.8 or higher.
