Coastal Carolina University recognizes the International
Baccalaureate (IB) as a rigorous and challenging program
and will provide credit after the student is enrolled as a
baccalaureate degree-seeking student. Credit awarded at
Coastal Carolina University is dependent upon the scores
received in the IB program. Only scores of 4, 5, 6 and 7
on higher level exams may earn credit. No credit will be
awarded for standard/subsidiary level examinations.
Students must have an official IB transcript issued by the
New York Office of the International Baccalaureate forwarded
to Coastal Carolina University’s Office of the Registrar for
assignment of credits. Once your transcript has been received,
you will be notified of the amount of credit awarded upon
enrollment as a baccalaureate degree-seeking student.
