In the fall 134 student-athletes made the Dean’s List; more than 20 percent of the student-athlete population posted a 3.5 grade point average or above while completing at least 12 credit hours. Also last semester, over 51 percent of Lehigh’s student-athletes earned a 3.0 GPA or higher.
Fifteen student-athletes recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA last semester. By comparison, 11 student athletes earned a 4.0 last spring.
Lehigh’s academic success was not limited to individuals. Fifteen of Lehigh’s teams had semester GPA’s at or above the 3.0 mark. It appears classroom success coincided with athletic success, as the department’s top two teams, women’s soccer and women’s basketball have enjoyed tremendous athletic success this year. Below is a complete list of teams that met or exceeded the 3.0 mark.
