International Baccalaureate (IB) Credit
The International Baccalaureate subject exams are one way to earn college credit by examination. Students who have completed any of the following IB subject exams need to have International Baccalaureate forward an official report of their scores to Wichita State University’s Registrar’s Office to receive credit.
If you are a transfer student from another Kansas Regent's University, IB scores that you sent to them can be used by WSU from that school's transcript. If you are a transfer student from a school that is not a Kansas Regent's University, please contact the test company and arrange for your score(s) to be sent to WSU for evaluation. Credit posted to your WSU transcript will be awarded based on the information below.
Have your official test scores or transcript sent directly to:
Office of the Registrar
Wichita State University
1845 Fairmount
Wichita, Kansas 67260-0058
The Registrar's Office will review the scores and add the credit you have earned to your WSU transcript after you are admitted, and the scores are received.
