Advising Notes:

1. English is a B.A. degree only. The B.A. requires intermediate proficiency in a foreign language and a philosophy course. Students are strongly encouraged to begin their foreign language at the community college.
2. Students seeking teacher licensure in English must also complete the pre-professional secondary education program. See links below for more information on teacher education for transfer students, and the Regional Teacher Education Agreement (RTEA) between JMU and Blue Ridge, Lord Fairfax, and Piedmont Virginia Community College.
