BOISE, Idaho – Boise State student-athletes continued to set the standard for academic excellence during the 2023-24 school year – they combined for the highest department cumulative grade-point average (GPA) in department history with a 3.42 at the conclusion of the spring semester.
In addition, the all-department spring semester GPA of 3.37 is the second-highest for a single-semester – trailing only the 3.42 set during Fall 2023. Over half of Boise State's sports programs earned a new GPA record, whether cumulative or semester, during the school year, while women's golf (3.82), softball (3.57) and football (3.18) set all-time records for semester GPA in the spring.
All 18 sport programs earned above a 3.0 GPA, whether semester or cumulative, during the spring semester.
"Congratulations to our student-athletes for continuing to thrive in the classroom," said athletic director Jeramiah Dickey. "Their academic success matters, and motivates us even more to continue our investment in the resources needed to ensure every Bronco student-athlete has the skill set to win in every area of their lives."
On an individual level, the vast majority of student-athletes maintained Boise State's standard of academic excellence:
* 163 student-athletes made the Dean's List
* 59 student-athletes earned a 4.0 GPA (second-most to Fall 2023)
* 85% of student-athletes earned above a 3.0 GPA
* 44% of student-athletes earned a 3.7-or-above GPA – the equivalent of straight-A's
* 62% of student-athletes earned above a 3.5 GPA
Forty-four student-athletes from 14 different sport programs completed their goal of earning a degree as part of Boise State University's 2024 Spring Commencement, highlighted by women's soccer student-athlete Jocelyn Stephens being named a Top Ten Scholar – one of the highest undergraduate academic honors.
