Will these classes be factored into my GPA?

Since leaving undergrad I've taken Human Anatomy + Lab and Microbiology + Lab at the community college level. I am current in an MSN program and have taken Pathophysiology, Biostatistics, and Pharmacology. Will these classes be factored into my GPA?

You must submit transcripts and grades from all colleges youve attended. So yes, they will be factored into your GPA.

I ask because I've heard that certain classes (especially "irrelevant" graduate coursework) would not be factored in. Would these be considered into my science GPA? I'm not quite sure how it works.

If you are attending classes given by an non-US accredited institution, they generally won't count.

If you are taking community college courses, you must report them and their grades are calculated in your GPA.

If your A&P and microbio CC courses are only for nursing/allied health students, they do not count as biology courses for majors when it comes to prerequisite requirements. (That's the difference.)

Thank you for the information. I'm pretty sure they weren't exclusively for nursing or pre-nursing students. Many students in my class were trying to become doctors and PAs but I'll figure it out for certain.

If it is graduate level courses, it will be a separate graduate GPA, not factored into your undergraduate GPA. If it is undergraduate level coursework, then it is factored into the undergraduate GPA but shows up on a separate line as post-bac coursework in the chart of GPA by year and level (undergrad/grad).

Some courses pitched for health professions education will get the tag HEAL and be included in the AO (all other) GPA rather than being tagged BIO and going into the CBPM (chem, bio, physics, math) GPA also known as the sGPA.
