Caitlin Clark has now left Iowa after being drafted into the WNBA, selected with the No. 1 pick by the Indiana Fever, but she intends to return to her school to further her education during offseasons
Caitlin Clark will return to Iowa as a student, intending to finish her degree and graduate. And it appears she’s on track to complete her education with an impressive GPA after her grades were recently revealed.
One of the top college basketball prospects to ever enter the WNBA, the Indiana Fever were the lucky team to land the first overall pick with a generational talent such as Clark available for selection.
Clark had a decision to make last season, with another year of eligibility open to her where she could have broken further college basketball records before undoubtedly being the first pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft.
However, Clark decided to make the step up this year, leaving behind what was a legendary career with her alma mater. Clark still intends to return to the school to finish her learning, though.
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.

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.
