Michigan State Student-Athletes Set Athletic Department Record for Cumulative GPA

Michigan State student-athletes made history this spring.

Michigan State Athletics announced on Friday that its student-athletes broke the department's all-time record for cumulative GPA with a collective GPA of 3.3744 for the 2024 spring semester. It was the first time in the department's history that all teams earned a 3.0 cumulative GPA.

The department earned a 3.343 GPA for the spring semester, the fourth-best semester GPA in the department's history.

"The historic academic achievements of our student-athletes are truly remarkable," said Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller. "The demonstrated across-the-board success of every program posting a 3.0 cumulative GPA is a tribute to the students' hard work, as well as the dedicated academic support staff. The record-setting numbers are certainly a fitting end to the Smith Center's 25th anniversary year."

Michigan State football, field hockey, men's soccer, rowing and women's cross country each recorded their highest cumulative GPA in their respective program's history.

There were 503 student-athletes who earned a 3.0 cumulative GPA or higher. Of 483 student-athletes to earn a 3.0 GPA or higher for the spring semester, 108 earned a 4.0.
