Duplicate courses

So the GPA is based on all the transferred courses and not just the ones applied towards a specific degree?

Each school calculates your incoming transfer GPA in their own way, but traditionally the transfer GPA is based on all courses taken to date across all your schools. However, some will only look at the last 60 credits, or may only look at courses in a specific degree (if you have more than one), or they may have some other criteria for how they determine the transfer GPA. Other schools may ignore your overall transfer GPA and only look at the specific courses that are a prerequisite for a master's degree program, etc.

That said, unless you're trying to get into a school with competitive enrollment, your transfer GPA may not really matter too much anyway. Even at competitive schools, GPA is typically one of the last things they look at as part of your overall application.
