Endorsement Basics

What is an Endorsement?

An endorsement is a set of classes that allows a student to explore an area of interest. It’s similar to a college major, allowing students to gain a deeper understanding of a subject. Endorsements connect to various career paths, helping students become familiar with the ideas, skills, and abilities associated with those careers.

Students choose one or more endorsements from five possibilities. During high school, they complete a certain number of courses to earn credit toward their endorsement. Their endorsement(s) will be reflected on their graduate transcript.

Arts & Humanities: Do you get excited about learning a new language? Do you dig studying the past and considering how it might impact the future? Do you follow what’s going on in the world around you? Do you dream of being on stage or behind the scenes of a school play? Then the Art & Humanities endorsement might be for you!

Career Examples: political scientist, art director, economist, lawyer, choreographer, translator

Business & Industry: Are you excited about starting your own business or playing the stock market? Want to work on construction sites or build websites and IT networks? Does the thought of being a CEO or manager sound cool? Then the Business & Industry endorsement might be for you!

Career Examples: veterinarian, event planner, construction, airline pilot, financial manager, real estate agent, or accountant

Public Service: Do you get excited about helping others or making the world a better place? Want to serve your country or be a police officer? Do you love teaching or working with children? Then the Public Service endorsement might be for you!

Career Examples: registered nurse, paralegal, emergency management director, teacher, therapist

Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM):   Do you get excited about building robots, making computer games or programs, or crunching numbers to ensure your fantasy football team is dialed? Does the thought of engineering sound cool? Do you do well in math and science classes? Then the STEM endorsement might be a good fit for you!

Career Examples: software developer, statistician, petroleum engineer, geoscientist, biochemist, pharmacist

Multidisciplinary. If you have too many interests to pick just one endorsement, or you are still deciding what your future might look like, then the Multidisciplinary endorsement might be for you! It will help you graduate as a well-rounded student, ready to pursue any direction you choose.
