Ib math studies vs algebra 2/trig

Look at the course requirements at several of the schools you are considering to see what you will need. It is almost certainly calculus but perhaps not a lot beyond that.

I would also have a discussion about this with your math teacher (and perhaps with folks at schools you are considering. )

I agree with @ucbalumnus BUT that info is offered in the context of choosing between IB math studies, IB SL math, and IB HL math. IB math studies is definitely the lightweight in that group and the only one that doesn’t offer a full year of calculus. Algebra plus precalc is a more direct line to calculus. Neither is great prep for a quantitative field of study.

Fwiw, the kids I know who did math studies and took calculus in college did fine. But they did it to fulfill requirements, not as part of a physics or engineering program (which is consistent with the description above.)
