Majors in a university are usually divided into "lower division" and "upper division", two years each. Each major has its own list of required courses; in addition a certain number of electives must be taken in order to accumulate enough credits to meet the graduation requirements. In this case, the major GPA is calculated by considering the major's required third- and fourth-year courses plus the five electives in which the highest grade was earned.
