International Baccalaureate Program
The International Baccalaureate Program (IB) is recognized by Rose-Hulman as an outstanding opportunity for advanced college credit. In general, students who receive a score of "5" or better on an IB examination will receive credit for the corresponding course at Rose-Hulman.
Rose-Hulman Credit by Examination
A student who believes he has a particular strength in a subject area, but was not able to take AP or IB courses or did not receive a high-enough score on a placement exam, may arrange for placement examinations at Rose-Hulman. These exams are scheduled by appointment with the appropriate department chairperson and, on the basis of the results, a student may be offered credit or advanced standing.
Transfer of College Credit
Credit from another accredited college or university can be transferred to Rose-Hulman if a comparable course is available in the Rose-Hulman curriculum. A final grade of "C" or higher must have been earned for the credit to transfer. The appropriate department chairperson at Rose-Hulman is the final authority in determining the acceptability of course credit transfer. Coursework Evaluation Form
