¹ Arts & Sciences and M.I.T. offer courses for both graduate and undergraduate credit.  Undergraduate level courses will not be posted on your HSPH transcript.

² The Business School grades do not convert into ordinal grades and therefore cannot be calculated into the G.P.A., however, they will count toward HSPH ordinal credit requirements.
