No, Duke University is not an International Baccalaureate (IB) school.
An "IB school" typically refers to a primary or secondary educational institution that has been authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) to offer one or more of its specific educational programmes, such as the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP), or Career-related Programme (CP). Duke is a world-renowned university offering undergraduate and graduate degrees, rather than K-12 IB curricula.
While Duke itself is not an IB school, it does acknowledge and value the academic rigor of the International Baccalaureate program. Students who have completed IB exams can potentially receive advanced placement credit at Duke University. This means that strong scores on certain IB exams can count towards college credit, helping students fulfill degree requirements or place into higher-level courses.
Duke's policy on accepting IB exams for credit is specific:
How Duke Recognizes International Baccalaureate (IB) Exams
| Exam Type | Level Accepted for Credit |
|---|---|
| International Baccalaureate (IB) | High Level (HL) Only |
For more detailed information on advanced placement credit policies, including specific score requirements, students should consult Duke University's official advanced placement credit resources.
