Advising Notes:

1. MATH 220 is the prerequisite for INTA 295, a core requirement.
2. Students should begin taking their foreign language at the community college, especially if they are just beginning it. The prerequisite for FL 300 at JMU is two years (4 semesters) of the language (i.e. SPN 111-112 and 211-212 in the VCCS, or Spanish 201-202 at RBC).
