International Baccalaureate (IB) Credit
University of Mississippi
The University of Mississippi accepts credit by examination from the International Baccalaureate program. The College of Liberal Arts uses the following guiding principles for awarding International Baccalaureate credit: the student must take the Higher Level (HL) version of the course; the student must earn a score of 5 or higher on the examination; and the course must be approved by the appropriate department chairperson.
The following IB courses have been pre-approved for credit:
