International Baccalaureate Credits, 2021–22 International Baccalaureate Credits, 2021–22 Only Higher Level Exams are accepted for credit by the University of California; Standard Level Exams are not given credit. Score of 6 or 7 on Standard Level English A exam meets UC Entry Level Writ- ing requirement but no unit credit is granted. The University of California grants 8 quarter units of credit for all International Baccalaureate Higher Level exams on which a student scores 5 or higher and 6 quarter units of credit for the IB Diploma where a student earns a score of 30 or more. For IB exams not listed here, consult an academic adviser. Students should be advised that college courses taken before or after attending UC might duplicate IB examinations. Additionally, exams might duplicate each other (for example, an AP or IB exam in the same subject area*). If the student does dupli- cate an exam with another exam of the same subject content, and/or an exam with a college course, credit will be awarded only once.

    A Survey of Core Requirements at Our at Our Requirements of Core A Survey and Universities Colleges Nation’s WHAT will they LEARN ? 2017–18 © American Council of Trustees and Alumni 2017. All rights reserved. A Survey of Core Requirements at Our Nation’s Colleges and Universities American Council of Trustees and Alumni FOREWORD It would be hard to imagine a time when ignorance could be more dangerous. Misinformation can travel across the nation in nanoseconds. Our only defense rests on our capacity to educate citizens to make discerning, thoughtful judgments. That ability comes from the practice of reading closely and analytically and parsing arguments, using the tools of logic and reason that for generations the study of the liberal arts has fostered. It is not accidental that the very term “liberal arts” derives from the recognition that they represent the education suited for a free people. A great nation has an informed citizenry that is ready for the complex political choices that confront us. A great nation also needs a citizenry with the intellectual preparation to prevail in the relentless competition of global markets. And higher education needs a reset to meet both of these urgent needs. Too many colleges fail to provide students with the skills they need to succeed in the workforce. With technology rapidly advancing, some careers will disappear, some will expand globally. However, the ability to synthesize information, recognize past precedents, understand human behavior, and communicate effectively will prove invaluable as the job market continues to adapt to the demands of the new century. Companies from Silicon Valley to Wall Street need college graduates who are prepared not only for technical tasks, but also for high-level critical thinking and written communication.

The APP Report details all aspects of deans’ and certain other full-time faculty administrators’ compensation and is posted on the UC Office of the President Institutional Research and Academic Planning compensation reporting webpage at https://www.ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/content- analysis/employees/compensation-reporting.html as a measure of the University’s commitment to public access, accountability, and transparency.

  • A Survey of Core Requirements at Our Nation's Colleges and Universities
    A Survey of Core Requirements at Our at Our Requirements of Core A Survey and Universities Colleges Nation’s WHAT will they LEARN ? 2016–17 A Survey of Core Requirements at Our Nation’s Colleges and Universities American Council of Trustees and Alumni FOREWORD Early this year, in a Gallup survey of universities, nearly 100% of provosts said they felt their institutions were either “very effective” or “somewhat effective” at preparing students for the workforce. But a survey of employers showed that over 70% found college graduates were not well-prepared in skills such as “written communication,” “working with numbers/statistics,” “critical/analytical thinking,” and second-language proficiency.1 This is a wake-up call for students, parents, and policymakers, at a time when college graduates are already too familiar with both financial debt and intellectual deficit. Prospective students and their parents, along with taxpayers and policymakers, are increasingly looking for institutions that provide not rhetoric, but real academic value in return for the dollars invested. Since WhatWillTheyLearn.com was launched in 2009, students and parents—more than 460,000 of them—have thronged to our website to see for themselves what various institutions require in the way of coursework. Increasingly, it has become an important tool in the college selection process. And the media have taken notice. Nationally syndicated columnists have discussed our research and findings. And along with local newspapers and radio and television stations, they have reached millions across the country.2 Our project team is increasingly called upon to provide technical support for colleges and universities wishing to strengthen their core offerings.
