IB Equivalences

Reading the Chart:

IB subjects are organized by subject groups: Native English, Second Language, Individuals and Societies, Experimental Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Science, and The Arts. Test level and score for each subject is in column 1, while UGA course credit awarded is in column 2. Credit hours awarded are indicated in parentheses beside each course. For sequence courses, students should plan to take the next course after the one for which they have received course credit.
