There are separate grading curves for undergraduates and graduate students. First, the undergraduate curve:
Second, the graduate student grades:Grade curve (mean total score = 70, std dev = 10)UG = 43 55 56 68 70 70 71 74 74 75 75 76 76 78 81 83 C- C C B B B B A A A A A A A A A
Grade curve (mean total score = 77, std dev = 14)GS = 36 65 72 75 76 79 81 81 87 87 87 87 89 I B- B B B B B+ B+ A A A A A
