University Undergraduate Advising Handbook

If a Penn State student has completed the equivalent of college-level course work in some foreign secondary schools or through the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program, these credits may be considered for transfer. (The IB was designed as a curriculum and university entrance examination that could be taken in and recognized by any country. IB examinations are offered at Higher Level and Standard Level; only Higher Level examinations that are graded 5 or above will be considered for transfer credit.)

Authorized advisers can use ISIS screen AUII (enter 88005 in the CWIPSE field) to access a listing of IB courses approved as equivalent to Penn State courses.

For more information, contact Undergraduate Admissions.

The University may make changes in policies, procedures, educational offerings, and requirements at any time. Please consult a Penn State academic adviser for more detailed information.
