College Acceptance

The IBO's regional offices collaborate with governments throughout the world to integrate the PYP, MYP and DP into state educational systems, to provide advice on state curriculums, and to train teachers in state schools. They also work with universities and governments worldwide to ensure that the IB diploma is accepted, or "recognized", by universities. The IB diploma is recognized by universities in 102 countries, including all of North America, western Europe and Australia.
