The Math

How Mizzou GPA Is Calculated

The University of Missouri divides total grade (quality) points earned by total credit hours attempted, on a four-point scale.

Mizzou GPA Formula
\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum \text{Grade Points}}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Credit Hours}} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum (\text{Grade Point Value} \times \text{Credit Hours})}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Credit Hours}} \]
Grade PointsGrade-point value × credit hours for each course
Credit HoursTotal graded credit hours (excludes S, U, W, NR, I)

📝 Worked Example

Three courses using the official Mizzou grade-point values:

CourseCredit HoursGradeGrade PointGrade Points
ENGL 10003.0A4.003 × 4.00 = 12.00
MATH 11003.0B−2.703 × 2.70 = 8.10
HIST 11003.0C+2.303 × 2.30 = 6.90
Total9.027.00

Plugging into the formula:

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{27.00}{9.0} = \mathbf{3.00} \]

Convert GPA → Percentage

Enter any Mizzou GPA between 0.0 and 4.0.

The Conversion Formula

Mizzou uses a 4.0 scale, so:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \text{GPA} \times 25 \quad \text{or equivalently} \quad \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{GPA}}{4.0}\right) \times 100 \]

Example: If your GPA is 3.5, then Percentage = 3.5 × 25 = 87.50%.
