Calculate Your GPA
Enter your courses in chronological order (oldest first). Tick the Science box for prerequisite sciences (anatomy, physiology, microbiology, chemistry, pharmacology). The calculator shows your cumulative, science, and last-60-credit GPA — the three numbers CRNA programs care about most. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is saved or sent anywhere.
| Course | Credits | Grade | Science |
|---|
Most programs require a 3.0 minimum, but admitted applicants average 3.4–3.7. If your cumulative number is low, check whether your science and last-60 GPAs tell a stronger story — and read our GPA requirements guide.
How CRNA GPA Is Calculated
GPA is a credit-weighted average. Each grade maps to grade points on a 4.0 scale, multiplied by the course's credit hours:
GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ Σ(credits)
- Cumulative GPA — every course you've taken.
- Science GPA — only your science prerequisites; weighted heavily because it predicts success in the program's pharmacology and physiology load.
- Last 60 credits — your most recent 60 credit hours. Programs that use this reward an upward trend, giving a path to applicants who started slow.
This tool uses the standard unweighted scale: 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. Schools may use slightly different scales, so treat the result as a close estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Science GPA includes only your science prerequisite courses such as anatomy, physiology, microbiology, chemistry, and pharmacology. Multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours, sum them, and divide by total science credit hours.
It's your GPA calculated using only your most recent 60 credit hours. Some CRNA programs use it instead of cumulative GPA, which rewards an upward grade trend.
It uses the standard unweighted 4.0 scale. Schools may use slightly different scales or rounding, so treat the result as a close estimate and confirm official figures with your registrar.
