University IB Recognition


​University IB recognition comes in many forms, but the most common are recruitment, admission, placement, credit, and scholarships. Higher education institutions around the world admit students based on their IB credentials, and many have specific admissions policies and guidelines for IB students. Admissions criteria can vary widely across educational systems and selectivity of the institution. Candidates who do not achieve the full IB Diploma, but perform well in individual IB subjects, may still receive undergraduate credits. It is a student's final IB scores in each subject that most institutions consider when awarding credit. Policies regarding credit and placement differ from institution to institution. Families are encouraged to visit specific college/university websites for the most up to date information and recognition policies.

Although over 900 are identified, it does not include every U.S. college or university that recognizes performance in the IBDP for credit and placement. Again, please directly visit the websites of specific institutions of interest.
