• Students are viewed as better prepared in time

management, research, and writing

• Individual IB certificate HL courses are viewed

as equivalent with AP courses

• As with AP credit, a university and its

departments will determine, on an individual basis, whether credit will be granted dependent upon the student’s score, college major, and/or department policy

How do colleges view and handle IB courses?

• College-readiness indicators are at the

foundation of an IB school, in the form of the Learner Profile

• IB courses are designed around principles of

creative problem solving, in-depth research, critical thinking and highly developed writing, reading, and speaking skills

• The rigorous expectations and demands of

studying in IB courses prepare students for successful transition and retention for college and career
