Advanced standing also will be given to students who complete the International Baccalaureate (IB). One unit of credit will be given for each score of 4-7 for those who take the higher level IB examinations , and for each score of 6 or 7 on a standard level examination.
The College reserves the right to review each test to determine its acceptability. The appropriate academic department will review it in consultation with the registrar.
Remember, Beloit does not have a core curriculum of general education requirements. Therefore, there is no "freshman history" requirement to satisfy. Rather, students complete a breadth requirement during their first two years. In this example, a score of 5 on the IB Higher Level History exam would earn the student one unit of credit, which would count as one of the student's Division III distribution courses.
