INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE (IB)
International Baccalaureate Diploma
Texas A&M University, in compliance with SB 111, will grant at least 24
semester credit hours of course-specific college credit in
subject-appropriate areas on all International Baccalaureate (IB) exam
scores of 4 or above as long as the incoming freshman has earned an
IB Diploma. While some course credit will be awarded regardless of a
student’s IB Diploma status, some course credit at Texas A&M University
may be subject to the successful completion of the IB Diploma.
Entering freshman students for the 2006-07 academic year should submit
their International Baccalaureate transcript to Texas A&M University,
score recipient code: 01355, for review. Students should contact
Measurement and Research Services regarding their eligibility for
course credit. Students should work with an Academic Advisor to
determine the use of the IB credits in their individual degree plan
and the impact accepting the credit may have upon tuition rebate
eligibility, tuition charges for excessive total hours, and preparedness
for sequential course work based on IB test scores. Students will need
to contact Measurement and Research Services in order to accept or
deny the credit earned via IB tests.
Texas A&M University will notify IB applicants of their eligibility to
receive credit by posting information on this website and by
establishing links to other web pages that are relevant to
applicant students.
The evaluation of IB courses in order to identify the appropriate course
credit is continuing and will be posted as it becomes available.
