Is a 3.0 GPA good for computer science?
For an average college, 3.0 would be the “minimum”. If you want to get into a top college, 4.0 is the minimum. That being said, if you demonstrate a high level of talent and skill in computer science, you probably would still get accepted.
What is the average cumulative GPA of a computer science major?

An actual average, versus a range, would be very tricky.
Why is the GPA of some degrees lower than others?
Quite often the GPA of technical and hard science degrees is lower because they take harder classes, where professors are unlikely to give a lot of A’s. In my university the cutoff for cum laude, magna and summa cum laude honors depends on the average GPA of graduates for the previous year for each college within the university.
What is the average GPA for a CSA Major?
