Earning College Credit

In 2003, Colorado passed legislative bill HB1108. This bill guarantees a minimum of 24 semester hours of credit for all IB Diploma graduates who attend a Colorado four-year public college or university and do not have a score of less than 4 on an IB exam. This is an incredible incentive for IB Diploma graduates who elect to remain in Colorado for college.  

For more information on how college credits are awarded in the state of Colorado for IB classes, go to: Colorado Commission on Higher Education.

Although all state-supported schools are required to publish current IB credit award information, you are urged to look at the individual campus policies for how IB credits are awarded in various subjects and contact individual schools with any questions you may have. 

The IB continually works with colleges and universities around the world to recognize and award IB graduates. For information regarding how the IB works with higher education, go to IBO.org
