Advising Notes:

1. Students are strongly encouraged to begin their foreign language at the community college. Foreign language major requirements start at the 300 level; the above introductory and intermediate courses are prerequisites for 300.
2. Foreign language majors must complete through the intermediate level (232 at JMU) of a second language, unless they have a second major or are pursuing teacher licensure.
3. Students who have had two or more years of language in high school will not receive credit for the introductory sequence of the same language.
4. Students seeking teacher licensure in foreign language 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.
