Jackson State University recognizes the IB program. Credit will be considered for the standard and higher level subject examinations with scores of 4, 5, 6 or 7. Unless otherwise noted, an IB score of 4 will earn three (3) semester hours of credit. Students scoring 5, 6, or 7 typically are awarded six (6) or more semester hours of credit. The applicability of credit toward degree requirements is determined by the dean and/or department head concerned.
