International Baccalaureate Exams and Courses

More than 2,500 secondary schools in 150 countries offer college-level courses that prepare students for International Baccalaureate (IB) exams. If your school is authorized to offer these courses, you can earn college credit. There are two tracks for students enrolled in IB programs: standard level (SL) and higher level (HL). All Universities of Wisconsin grant credit for HL exam scores of 4 or higher. If you complete IB’s Full Diploma Program, you’ll earn additional credit.
