Student-Athletes Continue Academic Excellence

Oregon State University's 485 student-athletes posted another strong academic performance for Fall Term 2018, combining for a 3.19 cumulative GPA.

The term GPA nearly mirrored the overall student-athlete cumulative GPA of 3.18.

"This is a testament to the commitment our student-athletes have regarding academic success, and their professional goals," OSU Vice President and Director of Athletics Scott Barnes said. "This also paints a picture of our coaching staffs' commitment to success off the fields of play and their efforts in recruiting high-caliber student-athletes who are serious about an Oregon State University education. In addition, it's a credit to our academic personnel for their work assisting our young men and women navigate challenging schedules with academic commitments at the forefront."

Of the 17 intercollegiate teams at OSU, 15 posted a 3.00-plus term GPA (one team was 2.97) and overall, 16 of the programs are at 3.00-plus cumulatively. Football posted a 3.21 GPA for the first term of the year and had 23 individuals selected to the Pac-12 Conference All-Academic team, both marks represent school records.

One-hundred and thirty-five student-athletes were selected to the OSU Honor Roll or 28 percent of the population. Thirty-five posted a perfect 4.00 Fall Term GPA.

A quarter of the student-athlete population is enrolled in business or pre-business courses, followed closely by liberal arts, and public health and human sciences. Twenty-one individuals are in OSU's Honors College and another five are in graduate programs.
