What math class should I take next year?

So, because of state laws I have to take four math classes for my four years in high school.

I have taken:

Algebra 1

Geometry

Algebra 2

IB Math 1 SL

IB Math 2 SL

(If you don't know about IB Math, it comprises algebra, trigonometry, statistics, probability, etc. ... There is more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IB_Group_5_subjects#M... )

So my options are IB Math HL, though it won't count toward my diploma. Also, I might be able to take an AP course online. So that would be calculus or statistics, I guess. By the way, my intended field is graphic design/journalism. The only way I think math might be involved is in advertising/marketing, with statistics. I'm very strong in math and I like it, but I don't see it being a career for me.

Have you taken any of those options before and what might you recommend?

    take AP statistics. its not nearly as hard as calculus and calculus won't help you as much in your career field anyway.
