The above chart is based on the most current information from CSU and UC systems. Changes may occur. For CSU specific credit, see CSU Systemwide Credit for External Examinations.
Course Equivalency is for Taft College Major ONLY as transfer credit may differ from course credit and units granted by a transfer institution.
1 Note: IB courses that have been discontinued are not shown on this table. A student with catalog rights may be able to use a now discontinued course if accepted under the directly comparable area of IGETC or under Cal-GETC at the time the course was taken.
Example: History IB HL at a CCC is approved for Cal-GETC Area 3B (Humanities). History IB HL may be used in Cal-GETC Area 3B (Humanities) or Cal-GETC Area 4 (Social and Behavioral Sciences).
Actual IB transfer credit (including possible differences in units to be awarded beyond those used for Cal-GETC certification) awarded for these and other IB exams at admission is determined by the CSU and UC.
