Fullerton College General Education IB List
Students may earn credit for International Baccalaureate (IB) exams with scores listed below for High Level (HL) exams. International Baccalaureate (IB) credit can be used to meet Fullerton College AA General Education (GE) Areas. Students must have the International Baccalaureate Organization (www.ibo.org) send IB exam results to the Admissions and Records Office (un-opened hand carried copies will be accepted).
An acceptable IB score is equivalent to 3-semester units. IB credit granted at Fullerton College may differ from course credit and units granted by another college or transfer institution. Students who have earned credit for an IB exam should not take a comparable college course because transfer credit will NOT be granted for both.
