COLLEGE CREDIT FOR IB STUDIES
Universities across the world accept IB examinations and IB Diplomas for college credit.
Texas Senate Bill 111 mandates that all public Texas colleges and universities to grant a minimum of 24 credit hours for all IB Diploma holders.
Students who do not receive a full IB Diploma are still eligible to receive college credit for individual IB tests. The credits and scores vary from University to University. Generally, students who score a 4 or higher are eligible for college credit.

Students and families should recognize that college credit for IB and AP can vary from campus to campus. IB is excellent college preparation, but the college credit will depend upon the institution and the student's final assessed scores.
