International Baccalaureate Program
Sacred Heart University considers the International Baccalaureate outstanding for its integrated curriculum and rigor. Any student who pursued an International Baccalaureate Diploma will have his or her individual diploma examinations recorded as transfer credit based on Sacred Heart University equivalencies. A student must present individual Higher Level examinations with scores of 4, 5, 6, or 7 to receive credit (depending on the Sacred Heart University course equivalency) for no more than 30 credits. These individual credits may be applied to general education/core, a major, or an elective. No credit will be awarded for Subsidiary examinations. A student who has been granted credit in a particular area may not enroll for courses that will repeat his or her work in the subject. Students should have their International Baccalaureate Diploma or International Higher Level examination scores sent to the Office of the Registrar.
