Wayne State University General Education Requirements:
Notes about Language: This credit earns you some of a minor already so don't stop with your language study now. WSU
students are combining continued study of French, German, or Spanish with every possible major from Engineering to Fine
Arts to Business to History, and are getting jobs. For more information, contact [email protected]
Acceptable Scores: The IB exam score ranges from 1 to 7 with 7 being the highest score. A score of 4 or 5 will yield credit for
one course. A score of 6 or 7 will yield credit for two courses except Chemistry and Mathematics. The University will only
grant credit for exams at the “Higher Level (HL).”
