International Baccalaureate Courses
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma was initially established in Switzerland in the late 1960’s to enable students across Europe to transfer to schools within different countries and have their academic credit transfer seamlessly. In recent years, this program has become increasingly popular in secondary schools in the United States. Today more than 750 colleges in the United States, including Monroe Community College, award college transfer credit to IB diploma holders.
MCC will consider transfer credit for those students who have completed Higher Level (HL) courses and earned a grade of 4 or higher on a particular exam. Transfer credit evaluations will be done on a course-by-course basis by the Admissions Office. In order for students to earn a degree at MCC, at least 24 credits must be completed in residency.
