International Baccalaureate Standard-Level Exams

How standard-level International Baccalaureate exams transfer

If you are interested in receiving credit for International Baccalaureate exams, you should have an official score report sent to 本科招生 at SPU. If you completed an exam for a subject not listed below, alert 本科招生 and they will ensure that the subject is reviewed for transfer. 

The chart below indicates how International Baccalaureate Standard-Level 考试分数 presented on an official score report are accepted at SPU. (See SPU's credit granting policies for International Baccalaureate 更高级的 考试分数 here.) The numbers in parentheses indicate the score(s) required in order to receive credit. (LD) means lower-division credit, the level of courses primarily completed during the first two years of college.

All Standard-Level exams with a score of 4 or higher will receive 5 lower-division elective credits. No score below 4 will result in credit. Keep in mind that beyond 通识教育 and major requirements you may need quite a few elective credits to complete your degree.

If you believe an exam for which you receive credit from SPU also may fulfill major requirements, contact the appropriate department for a review.

Note: Combined credit for all test programs and 13th year advanced standing cannot exceed 45 quarter credits.
