DePaul University’s women’s basketball program has been highlighted by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) for its academic performance in the 2025‑26 season.
Academic Honor Roll Recognition
The Blue Demons earned a special mention on the 2025‑26 WBCA Academic Top 25 Team Honor Rolls, a distinction that underscores the program’s commitment to scholarship as well as competition.
The team posted a collective grade point average of 3.528, placing it among the nation’s top tier of Division I women’s basketball programs and securing the second‑highest GPA among Big East members.
Eight Big East schools were represented on the honor roll, and DePaul’s standing reflects a broader conference emphasis on academic excellence.
This marks the fourth time in the past five seasons that the Blue Demons have received special mention, illustrating a sustained pattern of scholarly achievement.
The WBCA’s Academic Top 25 honors teams that maintain a combined GPA of at least 3.0 and are nominated by a head coach who is a member of the association.
Now in its 31st year, the honor roll celebrates programs that balance athletic ambition with institutional standards, a narrative that resonates with student‑athletes across the country.
Wisconsin‑Green Bay captured the top spot in NCAA Division I with a 3.965 team GPA, repeating its dominance from the previous season and setting a benchmark for others to follow.
