What Do Colleges Think?●Ibo.org look under Recognition of IB Diploma●Brown University was one of the first colleges to accord credit for IB work. Brown recognizes that the IB represents achievement beyond most standard high school programs advanced placement and standing is therefore regularly granted. Three higher level courses can be assigned six course credits at Brown. With departmental approval, a standard level course with a superior mark may be counted for one credit. Accreditation falls within the providence of the Dean of the College. ●The College of William and Mary accepts test scores on Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate examinations for credit from incoming students. Typically, a score of 5 on an AP exam or a score of 5, 6, or 7 on a Higher Level IB exam will earn a student credit
●
What Do Other Colleges Think?●

●JMU recognizes the International Baccalaureate diploma and individual IB courses by awarding credit on IB Higher Level examinations. Typically, credit hours will be awarded for each Higher Level examination on which a score of five, six or seven has been earned... .
