💡Expert's Take
At Concordia the value of this credit depends on your program. Concordia's IB Diploma statement admits applicants to the Extended Credit Program and awards History HL transfer credit toward it, but that credit reduces what you still have to complete only where Concordia assigns it to a requirement or elective you would otherwise take. Concordia publishes no subject-by-subject IB equivalency, so placement depends on a program-level review rather than a fixed subject mapping.
HL only. The SL version of this subject earns no transfer credit at Concordia, since transfer credit is awarded for HL courses.
Official award line (IB Diploma, HL):
