Following her selection as the top pick by the Indiana Fever in the WNBA draft, Caitlin Clark has departed from Iowa. Yet, she remains committed to continuing her education at her alma mater during breaks from her professional basketball commitments.
Clark plans to resume her studies in Iowa, aiming to complete her degree program and earn her diploma. Recent revelations of her academic performance suggest that she is progressing well, maintaining an impressive GPA.
Regarded as one of the most promising talents in collegiate basketball history, Caitlin Clark’s arrival in the WNBA was eagerly anticipated. The Indiana Fever secured the opportunity to draft her as the first overall pick, recognizing her as a once-in-a-generation player.

Facing a pivotal decision last season, Clark could have prolonged her collegiate career, potentially setting further records before inevitably becoming the top pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. However, she chose to transition to the professional level this year, concluding a legendary chapter with her college team. Nevertheless, Clark remains steadfast in her intention to return to her alma mater to complete her education.
In her introductory press conference with the Indiana Fever, Clark said: “I would love to be on the Olympic team, and be in Paris. But that’s not up to me. I actually still need to earn my degree, too; I need to graduate college first, or else my mom might kill me.”
This past week, Clark was named the 2023-24 Academic All-America Team Member of the Year – marking the second consecutive year that she had been named to the list.
A graphic from the academy revealed that Clark, a marketing major, boasts an impressive 3.64 GPA.
While Clark will continue to study to graduate as a marketing major, she will also prepare to begin her WNBA career. The regular season will begin on May 14.
Clark joins the Fever off the back of an incredible senior year as a Hawkeye, smashing a multitude of records and amassing the most points ever scored in both men’s and women’s college basketball – averaging 31.6 points in her final year while regist
After being drafted, Clark told reporters: “This is a dream, this is something I wrote down on a piece of paper when I was in, like, second grade. Get a basketball scholarship. Play in the WNBA. This is something I’ve always wanted to do.”
The Fever will look to Clark to transform their fortunes after they won just 21 games in their last two seasons before acquiring the Iowa superstar.
Clark has opened up as the fourth favorite to win the WNBA’s MVP award in her rookie season, behind A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and Alyssa Thomas.
