BIG IS THRILLING.
Champions play at UCF. Knights athletic teams have earned landmark
victories on state and national stages — from American Athletic Conference
titles to FBS bowl wins. But some of our student-athletes’ most important
triumphs have been in the classroom. They’ve achieved an average GPA of 3.0
or higher for 19 consecutive semesters and earned a 94 percent graduation
success rate, ranking us No. 1 in the nation for public universities. Success isn’t
as sweet without the cheers of fans in the stands, so we’ll give you access to
free admission to every sporting event on campus. Being a part of the action
is an important part of our lifestyle — because we’re never as strong alone as
we are together. ucfknights.com
