International Baccalaureate

International Baccalaureate (IB) collaborates with secondary schools around the world on programs for students ages 16 through 19. The two-year comprehensive curriculum allows participating students and IB graduates to fulfill requirements of various national education systems. In addition to applied academics, the IB program works with students to develop responsible citizenship, leadership skills, and cultural sensitivity. Credits are awarded for higher-level subjects. No credit is awarded for subsidiary-level subjects.

Entering IB students may receive 6-8 credits for each higher level IB examination completed with a minimum test score of 4. There is no limit to the number of courses for which IB may award credit. No letter grades are recorded, only credit hours for the corresponding university catalog course title and number. Official score reports for the IB examinations sent directly from the testing service are required. Credits are recorded by the Registrar's Office.
