How does the IB’s Diploma Programme compare with The College Board’s Advanced Placement Programme?
Both programmes provide students with rich and challenging curricula and both enjoy national and international college and university recognition. The College Board and the IB issued a joint publication in 2005, IB & AP, which compares and contrasts both programmes. To decide which programme is right for them, students are encouraged to compare their own interests, abilities, and goals with the requirements of both programmes. The local school’s AP and IB programme coordinators should be able to assist students in reaching their decision.
