Introduction
Introducing GopherGrades, a presentation of the University of Minnesota Grade Distribution Data for each course on a per-instructor basis. Using GPA data from the most recent 10 full semesters (Summer 2017 through Summer 2020), the Gopher Grade distribution for every course was found for each primary instructor. Use the search tool below to search for Courses as well as Instructors at UMN. For more information regarding the data please visit the About page. Thanks for visiting GopherGrades!

The darkest shading shows the median grades in a course, with each lighter showing grades further from the median in the percentiles listed above.
Data Warning
The data visualized on GopherGrades is in no way an accurate representation of the respective primary instructors or courses. There are many external impacts that can affect the grades received in a course including variables such as but not limited to the lecturer, fall vs spring vs summer semester, class time, online format or in-person format, and the students themselves. This website is only intended to provide a display to the Summer 2017 – Summer 2020, Grade Distribution Data released by the University of Minnesota. Please do not use this data as a method of determining your academic choices.
