NDSU

International Baccalaureate (IB)

NDSU recognizes the International Baccalaureate program, offered at many high schools in the United States and abroad, which allows students to take examinations for credit. The examinations are offered at the standard (SL) and higher (HL) levels. In accordance with North Dakota University System policy students must receive a minimum score of four on higher-level (HL) examinations to qualify for possible awarding of credit and advanced placement, which is determined by the appropriate academic department on campus. Credit earned through IB may not be used to satisfy residence-credit requirements for graduation. A current listing of IB examinations that have been evaluated for credit and their NDSU equivalent courses is available at http://www.ndsu.edu/prospective_students/about/credit_by_exam.shtml#IB.
