The College of Idaho has found IB students to be very successful students during their tenure on campus. Over the past three years, the number of IB students has grown exponentially leading up to over 10% of the Fall 2009 freshman class haveing been IB students.

• Our 4-year retention rate is 91% for IB students.

The College of Idaho appreciates the rigor and integrity of the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. Therefore students who have completed the IB diploma with a minimum score of 28 will receive the following:

• Sophomore standing and 30 credits toward graduation upon enrollment.
• Preferred status for admission.
• Enhanced opportunity for merit scholarships.

For those who earned the IB Diploma with scores lower than 28, College of Idaho credit will be awarded as follows:

Credit toward completion of Graduation Requirements will be determined on a course-by-course basis.

For those who have taken IB courses but have not earned the IB Diploma, credit will be determined on a course-by-course basis.

High school students who enroll in the International Baccalaureate Diploma program and take Advanced Placement courses during their high school years will only receive college credit based on their Diploma score. In the event that an AP exam is taken in an academic area not offered through the IB Diploma program, students may receive college credit at the discretion of the Registrar.
