Updates to Lower-Division IB Requirements
Effective Fall 2023, IB has removed Chem 3A/3AL, Chem 3B/3BL, and Physics 8B from the required lower-division courses. The declaration requirements have also changed so that any student who has completed or is enrolled in IB 77A or 77B can declare IB as their major. Please let an IB advisor know if you have any questions.
