Like percentage, Grades will be assigned to student for each course. Grades are A = 4.0; B = 3.0; C = 2.0 ; D = 1.0; F = 0; And for each course based on difficulty level weights will be assigned. Its called Credit Hours.
Usually Graduate courses in Masters program will have 3 Credit Hours. For our example lets assume all 3 courses have 3 credits each. Lets say at end of the semester, professor assign you following grades
* Grade B to Course X
* Grade A to Course Y
* Grade A to course Z
GPA is calculated as follows
Total Grades = Sum of (Grade * Credit Hours) = B*3 + A*3 + A*3 = 3*3+4*3+4*3 =33
Total Credit Hours = 3+3+3 = 9
GPA = Total Grades/Total Credit Hours = 23/9 = 3.66
