IB Recognition Policy Summaries

As part of the college search process, IB students and their parents seek universities that recognize the rigour of the IB. The number of colleges and universities actively recruiting IB Diploma students is growing. Recently, the IBO published policy statements for many universities in both the United States and Canada. They are available online in pdf format, below.

Many of the schools with specific IB recognition policies provide college credit for particular IB courses taken in high school and some even award, entering students, 2nd year status! Policies change without notice, so, always ask a university if they have an IB Recognition Policy, even if they aren't listed in the links, below.
