Multidisciplinary

The Multidisciplinary endorsement allows for students to further study a foundation area or a variety of courses from various endorsements.

CAREERS

Because of the broad nature of a multidisciplinary endorsement, students can choose from a wide variety of careers. If students are unsure of their career interests and wish to cross-study multiple subjects, they may want to consider this endorsement to guide course selection.

COURSE SELECTION

A student may earn a multidisciplinary studies endorsement by completing the requirements specified in the foundation plan, in addition to one of the following:

• Pathway A: Take 4 advanced courses within 1 endorsement area or among endorsement areas that are not in a coherent sequence. The courses must prepare students to enter the workforce successfully or postsecondary

• Pathway B: Take 4 credits in each of the 4 foundation subject areas to include English IV and chemistry and/or physics.

• Pathway C: Take 4 Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or dual credit courses selected from English, mathematics, science, social studies, economics, languages other than English, or fine arts.
