<p>I found it interesting that the average GPA by major shows very little difference - for example the avg GPA for accounting majors (3.523) is not significantly higher than the avg GPA for marketing majors (3.459) (Spring 2010). Overall average GPA in the Wisconsin School of Business is 3.520 (Spring 2010).</p>
<p>I was interested by that, too, as non-accounting/finance students are often criticized. </p>
<p>But to be fair, the Fall 09 grade distribution report ([Office</a> of the Registrar - University of Wisconsin-Madison - Course Grade Distributions](<a href=“http://registrar.wisc.edu/course_grade_distributions.htm]Office”>http://registrar.wisc.edu/course_grade_distributions.htm)) showed the average accounting grade across all AIS courses to be 3.108 while marketing courses had an average of 3.317. It’s reasonable to assume that accounting majors have taken more accounting courses while marketing majors have taken more marketing courses, thereby inflating the marketing major’s GPA. </p>
<p>Unless you think marketing majors are inherently more interested/better at what they study. Which is actually plausible considering the two subjects we’re talking about.</p>
