NOTE: Each CSU and UC campus determines how it will apply external examinations toward credit in the major. Students who have earned credit from an IB exam should not take a comparable college course because transfer credit will not be granted for both.

* A minimum score of 5 for all exams is required by the University of California (UC). California State University (CSU) requires a minimum score of 5, except for Mathematics, Language, and Theatre exams, which require a score of 4. MiraCosta requires a score of 5 for all exams except Mathematics, which requires a minimum score of 4.
