The GNAC Academic All-Sports Championship evaluates an institution's performance in the classroom. The championship is determined using cumulative GPA data from each GNAC sponsored sport at an institution. All student-athletes on each sport's eligibility roster, including redshirts, are figured into the GPA.
To date, NNU has claimed seven GNAC Academic All-Sports Championships, coming in 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10, 2011-12, 2014-15, 2015-16, and most recently in the 2017-18 year. The women have earned the top spot an impressive 12 times, including a recent stretch of four in a row between the 2016-17 and 2019-20 years. On the men's side, NNU has grabbed six first-place finishes, most recently in 2015-16.
Here is a history of Northwest Nazarene's finishes in the Academic All-Sports standings from year-to-year. Total points are indicated in parentheses for the overall, men, and women columns while team cumulative GPAs are in parentheses under the team academic titles category. All-Sports standings archives are incomplete prior to 2011-12.
