Graduate School GPA Calculator
Calculate your GPA for graduate-level courses and track academic performance to meet graduation and fellowship requirements.
Understanding the Concept
The GPA is calculated by averaging weighted grades for all courses, taking credit hours into account:
GPA = \(\frac{\sum (\text{Grade Points} \times \text{Credit Hours})}{\sum \text{Credit Hours}}\)
Where:
- Grade Points = Numerical value of letter grade (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, etc.)
- Credit Hours = Number of credits the course is worth

Example Calculation
Student courses:
| Course | Grade | Credit Hours | Grade Points | Grade Points × Credit Hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Research Methods | A | 4 | 4.0 | 16.0 |
| Advanced Biology | B+ | 3 | 3.3 | 9.9 |
| Data Science | A- | 3 | 3.7 | 11.1 |
| Ethics in Research | B | 2 | 3.0 | 6.0 |
Total Grade Points = 16.0 + 9.9 + 11.1 + 6.0 = 43.0
Total Credit Hours = 4 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 12
GPA = 43.0 / 12 = 3.58
