CSUN student-athletes continue to achieve excellence both in competition and in the classroom. In Fall 2025, the CSUN Athletics Department earned a record-high cumulative GPA of 3.28—the highest in program history. An impressive 87% of teams achieved a GPA above 3.0, with 254 student-athletes earning a term GPA of 3.0 or higher, and 155 achieving a GPA of 3.5 or above. Several teams posted all-time academic bests, including Baseball (3.21), Men’s Track & Field/Cross Country (3.29), Women’s Golf (3.69), and Women’s Volleyball (3.31).
These accomplishments reflect the dedication of CSUN’s student-athletes, coaches, and support staff who remain committed to success in every facet of the student-athlete experience.
