Colleges and IB
Colleges and universities
in the U.S. set their own policies regarding admission
and placement within academic levels. Students should
carefully investigate individual colleges based on
student interests, needs, goals, the institution's
policies and practices, and so on. Most colleges have
websites that give a fairly reasonable overview of their
programs and other offerings. They welcome inquiries and
will be able to provide additional materials specific to
the student's requests.
Many colleges and universities in the United States recognize the IB program and give credit or advanced placement to students who attain the IB diploma. A sizeable number also give credit to students who received IB certificates for courses. The student should directly address these issues with the college.
See a list of colleges and universities in the U.S. that recognize IB coursework on the official IBO website.
