Many International Baccalaureate students and teachers are asking why local colleges and universities don't give credit for single, one-year IB courses but do for similar single, one-year Advanced Placement courses. They also want to know what data colleges have to support their policies and whether changes are being considered. But they say they have trouble getting answers. Here are the responses officials at the colleges gave The Washington Post.
American University: Don't know why; don't know of any data; reviewing policy.
George Mason University: Credit given for several one-year IB courses on same basis as AP.
Georgetown University: Don't know why; don't know of any data; reviewing policy.
George Washington University: Policy based on a report that IB calls inaccurate; don't know of any data; reviewing policy.
Goucher College: Don't say why or whether they know of any data; reviewing policy.
Howard University: Don't say why or whether they know of any data; reviewing policy.
James Madison University: No response to calls.
Johns Hopkins University: Don't know why; don't know of any data; might review policy.
Marymount University: Don't know why; don't know of any data; reviewing policy.
St. Mary's College of Maryland: Looking at new data; reviewing policy.
Trinity Washington University: Credit given for passing a one-year IB course if student requests.
