Advising Notes:

1. History 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. HIS 101-102 (Western Civilization) transfer as general history electives and count toward the major as HIST 201-202.
3. Students seeking teacher licensure in social studies must also complete the pre-professional secondary education program and the minor in interdisciplinary social science. 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 Colleges.
