International Baccalaureate (IB)

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program is a rigorous two-year, pre-university liberal arts program of study for highly motivated, academically oriented secondary students. The IB Diploma is awarded only to students who meet curricular, service, and thesis requirements and score at the prescribed level on internationally standardized subject examinations. Through the IB Program, students may be awarded up to 30 college-level credit hours. No grades will be assigned to credits awarded through the IB Program. Students will not receive credit for IB courses that duplicate credit awarded for courses previously taken and passed or credit that was awarded through other accelerated programs (i.e., AP, CLEP, credit by examination, etc.). To determine eligibility for IB credit, the student should request their IB transcript be sent directly to LSSC’s Admissions and Records Office. The Credit-By-Exam equivalencies can be viewed here.
