Belmont University - Undergraduate Catalog


International Baccalaureate

Belmont University recognizes the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum as a strong pre-university program and encourages students in this program to apply to the university. Credit for individual tests may be awarded for scores of 5, 6, or 7 for tests that were taken at the "higher level" (as opposed to "standard level"). Equivalencies (if any) are determined by the department for qualifying scores of 5 or higher. For students who have earned IB diplomas, further consideration will be given in awarding credit, based on the evaluation of their entire IB transcript. A maximum of 24 semester hours credit may be earned in IB, AP and other pre-university courses.
