International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher Level Exam Credit
for majors in the School
of the Arts and Architecture, School
of Engineering and Applied Science, School
of Nursing,
and the School of Theater, Film
and Television
Please note:
- UCLA awards college credit for higher level (HL) exams only.
- Credit awarded by UCLA as a result of IB exams is
subject to change without notice. Course descriptions
for each IB
subject are reviewed by UCLA on a yearly basis.
- IB examinations, AP examinations, and college courses
taken prior to or after enrolling at UCLA may be duplicative.
In these cases we will award credit for only one.
