RICHMOND, Va. – The final buzzer has nearly sounded on the VCU's 2025-26 athletics seasons, but that doesn't mean the Rams are done racking up wins.
 
The latest round of VCU victories weren't produced on the field, but rather, in the Rams' chosen fields of study.
 
VCU's student-athletes, a group nearly 300 strong, produced a Spring 2026 semester grade-point-average of 3.427. In addition, 70 Rams, roughly a quarter of all VCU student-athletes, recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA in the spring. More than 80 percent registered at least a 3.0, and 49 percent reached the 3.5 plateau.
 
In 2025-26 overall, VCU student-athletes earned a cumulative GPA of 3.508, just a shade off last year's pace of 3.513. The Rams have booked a department-wide GPA of better than 3.4 in six straight semesters.
 
VCU's success in the classroom should not come as a surprise. The Black and Gold have combined for a GPA of 3.0 or better in 23 consecutive semesters, a streak of academic excellence that spans 12 years.
