Class size limits
Only 50 students will be admitted to the IB major each year. Admission will be very competitive. Potential applicants should carefully plan a program of study that demonstrates their potential for success in the program. Foreign language study in the freshman and sophomore years is particularly important, so that the student’s ability to satisfy the program’s language requirement is demonstrated. Students will find the University’s study abroad opportunities helpful. Clearly, the student’s academic record at the University of South Carolina should reflect excellence in all aspects of the program of study selected.
