IB DIPLOMA AND THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY ENDORSEMENT EXAMPLE
One of the ways to earn the Multidisciplinary Studies Endorsement is by having 4 credits in AP, IB, or dual credit courses selected from English, Math, Science, Social Studies, LOTE, or FIne Arts, so the requirements for this endorsement are automatically met through the IB diploma curriculum and no additional courses are needed.
IB DIPLOMA AND MULTIPLE ENDORSEMENTS EXAMPLE
This plan shows how a student is able (through careful planning) to receive all 5 endorsements; however, this is not recommended. Instead, we encourage you to find 1 or 2 areas that you are really interested in and focus on receiving endorsements in those while still taking other courses that you find interesting in order to provide you with in-depth knowledge about subjects that fascinate you, while also providing you with a well-rounded high school experience.
The purpose of including this is so that you can see that the new graduation plan does not limit you.
