5.20.19 | General
PHILADELPHIA - The bar has been raised yet again for the performance of Temple University student-athletes in the classroom, as the Owls earned a Spring 2019 semester grade-point average of 3.26, surpassing the 3.24 GPA from the fall semester.
The number of student-athletes achieving a semester GPA of 3.0 or above is a record 76.5 percent, including a record 38 perfect 4.0 GPAs and 212 (43%) student-athletes with a 3.5 GPA or above.
"The dedication our student-athletes have to achieving success in the classroom is unmatched," said Director of Athletics Dr. Patrick Kraft, "and I am so proud of the way our young men and women represent this University. As always, credit must go as well to our coaches and especially to our exceptional academic support staff led by Justin Miller. Our formula for academic success here at Temple has proven successful time and again, and we take great pride in it."
Overall, a record 18 of 19 teams posted a combined GPA of 3.0 or greater, led by volleyball and men's cross country. Twelve teams came in at 3.4 or above and four teams set or tied their record-high GPAs - men's basketball, men's cross country, women's tennis and volleyball.
Six programs earned their highest cumulative GPA on record: men's basketball, men's cross country, men's crew, football, women's gymnastics and women's track & field.
