Can anyone share their experience with transferring IB courses to Delta College in Michigan? I'm trying to figure out how many of my courses might count for college credits once I graduate.
Delta College, like many other institutions, recognizes the International Baccalaureate (IB) program and may award credit for higher-level (HL) IB courses. There is more information on which exams and required scores the school accepts on its resource called the CPL Wizard. Please note that typically, Standard Level (SL) IB courses may not be eligible for college credit.
It's important to clarify that the amount of credit you receive will vary by course and by program of study at Delta College. For instance, the IB Biology HL might translate to certain credit hours for Biology at Delta College.
However, the specific details about how much credit will be granted are often determined on a case-by-case basis. It is advisable to reach out directly to the admissions office at Delta College. They can provide you with the most accurate information based on your individual situation and course specifics. Also, as you move closer to enrolling, an academic advisor can guide you through the specifics of transferring these credits and aligning them with your chosen course of study.
Remember, while you may receive credit for some IB courses, it's vital to ensure that the credits align with your intended program to avoid excess credits that may not benefit your degree progression. For example, if you're pursuing a degree in Business, having credits for IB Chemistry might not be as beneficial as credits for IB Business Management.
In conclusion, it's a collaborative discussion between you, the admissions office, and potentially an academic advisor, to ensure your hard work in high school benefits your progress in college.
