More Than 100,081 IB students in the U.S and 202,103 Worldwide Received Their Diploma Program (DP) and Career-related Program (CP) Exam Results
The IB celebrates the achievements of all students who have reached this important milestone. Over the course of the two-year DP and CP journey, they have developed the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to thrive in a changing world and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Today’s IB graduates join a community of more than 2.7 million lifelong learners across 157 countries worldwide where the DP and CP are offered. The global average DP score for the May 2025 session is 30.58 points.
Olli-Pekka Heinonen, Director General of the International Baccalaureate, congratulated all the Diploma Programme and Career-related Programme students on reaching this important achievement.
“I’m inspired by the dedication, resilience, and compassion shown by IB students during such a complex time in the world. As IB graduates move forward, into higher education, careers, or service to their communities, they carry with them the competencies, values, and global mindset needed to thrive and make a meaningful difference.
IB graduates leave not only with knowledge, but also with the perspective and purpose to lead, serve, and shape a better world. We are proud of who they are and the impact they’re already making.”
The Diploma Program (DP) offers students a globally respected, transformative education that prepares them for university and beyond. Its balanced, inquiry-based curriculum fosters academic achievement, critical thinking, language development, and personal growth. Offered in over 930 IB World Schools across the US, the DP aligns with local education systems while nurturing global perspectives and ethical leadership.
A series of DP curriculum alignment studies (2023) demonstrated that DP courses meet or exceed national/jurisdictional standards in South Korea, Singapore, Australia, Canada, Finland, France, the United States, Spain, Mexico and Brazil. The studies confirmed that the DP offers world-class courses, strong academic depth and breadth, and adaptability across education systems.
The Career-related Program (CP) offers students a unique blend of academic study and real-world career experience, helping them develop lifelong skills like confidence, responsibility, and purpose. In the United States, a study of postsecondary outcomes of CP graduates (2024) found that 72% enrolled in college immediately after high school, compared to 64% nationally. Additionally, 81% persisted in college, versus 72% of US students, and CP graduates had notably higher six-year graduation rates than US students nationally (77% compared to 68%). These findings demonstrate the program’s success in preparing students for higher education.
For the May 2025 examination session, DP and CP students completed all assessment components for each subject and the IB awarded grades using all components, coursework and examinations.
The IB will be publishing an interim statistical bulletin in the next few weeks.
