How does Bennington view the British educational system and the International Baccalaureate diploma?
Students enrolled in the British Educational System must be in the process of preparing for G.C.E. Advanced Level examinations after having completed the G.C.E. Ordinary Level Certificate (with a minimum of five subjects). Bennington recognizes the value of the International Baccalaureate and G.C.E. Advanced Level work. Students holding either diploma may petition the Dean’s Office for credit approval after completing one term of work at Bennington. Credits are awarded on a case-by-case basis to students who have completed ‘A’ level work or received an IB diploma. Possession of an ‘A’ level or IB diploma does not automatically earn college credit. Credits are awarded at the discretion of the College.
