Earning College Credit with IB

Research has proven that a rigorous high school curriculum, such as International Baccalaureate (IB), is strong predictor of college success. As a result, many colleges offer college credit for successfully completing IB courses and scoring 4 or above on the IB exams.

In Georgia, colleges and universities that are part of the University System of Georgia (USG) will award academic credit for appropriate courses in the USG core curriculum for corresponding IB subject areas in which the student obtained designated end of course assessment scores.

Below are links to several Georgia colleges and universities that provide information on the IB courses and exams scores that each institution accepts for credit. If a school you are interested in is not listed, you are encouraged to contact the Admissions Office for your school of interest to learn more about their admission requirements and necessary documentation.
