Hi, No worries! This is a common question. Your cumulative GPA is your overall GPA for all courses you’ve taken, while your major GPA only includes courses that count toward your major. So yes, they are different. To calculate your major GPA: List all courses in your major along with the grades you received. Convert each grade to GPA points using your school’s scale (common example: A = 4.0, A– = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, etc.). Some schools have slightly different scales, so double-check. Multiply each GPA point by the course credits. For example, if you got an A– in a 4-credit course: 3.7 × 4 = 14.8. Add up all the grade points for your major courses. Divide by the total credits of your major courses. The result is your major GPA. In short: Major GPA = total grade points for major ÷ total major credits. This way, you get the GPA that reflects only your performance in your field of study
