The university grants credit and assigns a grade of “TST” for IB higher level examinations passed with scores of 5,6, or 7. Credit is not granted for the standard level examinations. A maximum of 24 credits may be granted for examinations completed through the IB diploma program. Evaluation is on a course by course basis with a maximum of eight semester credits in any one discipline. The applicability of IB credits towards satisfying specific major/degree requirements is determined by individual colleges and departments. A maximum of 60 semester credits may be earned in any combination of non-traditional learning examinations and applied towards a bachelor’s degree.
