JMU Majors

If you are studying at a four-year institution or at a community college outside the Commonwealth of Virginia, you should be aware of the requirements for your intended major. Click here for information on all of JMU's majors.   Some majors have admission and/or progression standards that must be met before you are fully admitted to the major.

Academic Planning and JMU's General Education Program Requirements

In addition to major course work, all students must complete JMU's core curriculum, General Education. You should read and understand General Education program requirements. Click here for some general guidelines on transferring courses that may count toward General Education requirements.   

Evaluation of Transfer Credit

Once you apply to JMU, courses you have completed as indicated on your college transcript(s) from your current or last college or university attended are evaluated on a course-by-course basis by the JMU Office of the Registrar. JMU transfer credit is given only for those college level courses for which there is an equivalent course at JMU and in which you earned a grade of "C" or better. Those courses in which you have earned approved JMU transfer credit usually count toward General Education and elective credit.
