Subject Specific Extended Essays

Subject-specific extended essays allow students to dive deep into a topic of interest in a single subject they are taking at DAA*. At the time of proposal, students must be achieving above a 75% in the chosen subject.

Subject-specific extended essays require students to use methods and resources specific to a subject as they research and write this analytical paper. Which methods and resources students use depend on the subject they select; therefore, it is important that students deeply investigate the subject-specific guidance regarding choice of topic, treatment of topic, and assessment.

However a simple overview of the group is not enough to select and conduct a subject-specific EE. The CORE website, therefore, also provides links to the IBO's subject-specific guide. You can find these via the same links below or by directly accessing the IBO website.
