<p>The average in LSA is about a 3.2, don’t know the standard deviation. The average in Ross is I think a 3.6. The average in Engineering is 2.9, about .45 standard deviation. I’m told majors like Chem and Physics have low average GPAs (like around a 3.0) where as majors like psychology have high average GPAs, (like around 3.4).</p>

<p>yea depends on the program. Some engineering classes grade on the bell curve, so they experience deflation as opposed to inflation</p>
