International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher Level Exam Credit
for majors in the College
of Letters and Science
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.
