Towson University recognizes that the International Baccalaureate (IB) program represents achievement beyond the standard American high school program and regularly awards advanced standing to students who successfully complete IB course work. TU awards credits for exams and scores based on the equivalency chart below.

Students will not receive credit for both SL and HL courses in the same discipline. In the case where both have been taken, credit will be awarded according to the Higher Level IB course equivalency.

Diploma Holders

Students who earn an IB Diploma will be awarded 30 units toward the bachelor鈥檚 degree and receive sophomore standing. Some of these units may be applied toward TU鈥檚 Core Curriculum requirements; each student鈥檚 IB units will be individually evaluated for Core Curriculum applicability.

Certificate Holders

Students who earn an IB Certificate will be eligible to receive units based on the results of their HL and SL courses.
