The Business Administration Major


How to Calculate Your Business/Major GPA

To calculate your Business/Major GPA, you add up the grade points for all your letter graded upper division Business courses. You then divide the total grade points by the total units for those courses. This includes any upper division Business courses taken outside of Berkeley. Courses that are not included are those from other Departments (e.g. Economics) that were used to satisfy Haas core courses.

To determine grade points, multiply the value of the grade (as listed below) by the number of units.

A+ = 4.0
A = 4.0
A- = 3.7
B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0
B- = 2.7
C+ = 2.3
C = 2.0
C-= 1.7
D+ = 1.3
D = 1.0
D- = 0.7
F = 0.0

For example:


Course (Units) Grade Grade Points
UGBA 100 (2u) B+(3.3) 6.6
UGBA 101A (3u) A-(3.7) 11.1
UGBA 103 (4u) B(3.0) 12.0
UGBA 131 (3u) A(4.0) 12.0
     
Total Units 12.0   41.7

41.7 grade points divided by 12 units = 3.475.
