High-achieving students preparing for high school and beyond have many options and opportunities to push their education further. One of these opportunities is the International Baccalaureate Program. International Baccalaureate, or IB, is a rigorous, two-year program that results in personal and academic development and, upon successful completion, a globally recognized diploma.
Students who complete the IB Diploma Programme shall, at a minimum, receive 24 semester credits, which shall apply to general education, elective or major requirements -- at the public institution’s discretion -- for IB exams administered as part of the Diploma Programme on which the student receives a score of 4 or higher, per §23-1-13.3, Colorado Revised Statute. Students who did not complete the IB Diploma Programme can still earn college credit for the IB exams listed on the state-approved exam list. The credit is guaranteed to transfer but it is not guaranteed to apply to degree requirements. Click below for the most recent list of exams approved for college credit in Colorado.
