Transferable Associates Degrees

Students who earn an Associate in Arts, an Associate in Science, or an Associate in Arts and Sciences from Richard Bland College or any Virginia community college will be evaluated for admission to JMU on an individual basis. Admission to JMU is not guaranteed. 

A student who meets JMU admission criteria and has earned an associate degree will be given greater consideration for admission over a student who does not earn an associate degree.

The chart below indicates those associate degrees that have been approved by JMU to fulfill JMU's General Education requirements. General Education is JMU's core curriculum (41 credit hours) which is required of all students. Note that only those General Studies degrees from the designated schools below will fulfill General Education requirements at JMU. You must also apply for graduation at your community college and request that a final copy of your transcript, showing the degree conferred be sent to the JMU Admissions Office. This will ensure that General Education requirements will be met upon admission to JMU.

¹Please note that only those General Studies programs indicated above will waive JMU's General Education requirements.
