10. UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

The French Baccalaureate

The College of Arts and Sciences offers possible advanced standing credit for scores of 12/20 or

higher on examinations in subjects studied at a coefficient of 4 or 5. Upon departmental

recommendation, students may receive one, and no more than two, semesters of introductory-

level credit for each qualifying examination.

Page 5: 1. MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY French

Scores not eligible for advanced-standing credit may be considered for advanced placement (no

credit will be awarded); such placement decisions must be made by the appropriate Departmental

Undergraduate Director.

The French Bac “total score” is not used to determine credit eligibility; credit in the College is

based on examination subject scores alone.

______________________________________________________________________________

11. DUKE UNIVERSITY

International Placement Credit

In addition to AP credit, Duke also recognizes various international standardized examinations

and grants a limited amount of elective credit and placement in advanced courses at Duke for

students whose performance in these examinations meets certain standards established by the

University. If you completed the French Baccalauréat, the German Abitur, the British,

Singapore, or Hong Kong A-Levels, the International Baccalaureate, the Swiss Federation

Maturité, the All India/Delhi Senior School Certificate or the Indian School Certificate

examinations, you may be eligible for IPCs if you received one of the following scores on the

individual exams:

Examination Score

5. French Baccalauréat 14 or higher

These credits can be awarded only in those subject areas for which there is an AP exam offered

domestically. IPCs are counted as electives in the same way as AP credits are awarded. Scores

of all examinations must be received by the Office of the Registrar (Box 90054, Durham, NC

27708) before AP or IPC credit can be awarded.

Page 6: 1. MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY French

Pending review by the appropriate department at Columbia, students whose secondary school

work was in other national systems such as the French Baccalauréat may be granted credit in

certain disciplines for sufficiently high scores. The appropriate transcript should be submitted to

13. HARVARD COLLEGE

Advanced Standing

Harvard's Advanced Standing program is designed for undergraduates who plan to graduate in

three years or plan to complete the A.B./A.M. program in four years. This is a choice made at the

end of two years of study at Harvard. To be eligible for this program, students who have taken

College Board Advanced Placement exams need a total of four full credits, earned by scoring a 5

on a minimum of four AP tests. Entering students with outstanding records on foreign

examinations such as British A-Levels, French Baccalaureate, or German Abitur may qualify

for eligibility on submission of their credentials for evaluation upon their arrival in the College.

14. TUFTS UNIVERSITY

Secondary School Course Selection & Standardized Testing

The admissions process is individualized and designed to focus on the intellectual strengths of

applicants while understanding the richness and breadth of backgrounds. Primary emphasis is

placed on evaluating candidates within the context of their national academic system. Close

attention is paid to the secondary school record, standardized testing, recommendations, and any

information providing insight into the work of the student. The admissions office is familiar with

evaluating credentials from many different educational systems, such as the GCSE and GCE A-

levels, the French Baccalaureate, the International Baccalaureate, and the Arbitur, among

others.

Page 7: 1. MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY French

Example: French Baccalaureate

A student with a score of 10 or higher with a coefficient of 3 or higher in economics is eligible

for one Tufts credit for Principles of Economics and placement into intermediate economic

theory courses.

Maturité, Artium Examination, British A levels, and German Abitur, are normally considered to

have a value of one full academic year if students receive scores that indicate excellent

performance. Students who receive such credit may not then receive credit for Middlebury

introductory courses in subjects covered on the examination.

General admission requirements

The following are the general admission requirements for French Baccalaureate students

applying to UBC's Vancouver campus.

• Completed the baccalauréat général or the baccalauréat général (option internationale).

All sections – S (scientifique), L (littéraire), and ES (économique et sociale) – are eligible

for consideration. Your admission average will be calculated on the note sur 20 achieved

on the academic subjects covered on the baccalauréat exam.

We will also consider the baccalauréat technologique for admission on a case-by-case basis.

However, the baccalauréat professionnel cannot be considered.

We will consider first-year credit for French Baccalaureate courses on a course-by-course basis.

The minimum score for a course to be considered is 12/20.
