MTH 173 or 273, or 175 and 176 (must take both 175 and 176 to get credit) (RBC: Mathematics 201)
CSC 110 or ITP 112 (RBC: no equivalent)
PHY 231 and 232, or 241 and 242 (RBC: Physics 201 and 202)
MTH 146, 157, 240, or 241 and 242 (must take both 241 and 242 to get credit)(RBC: Mathematics 217)

2. JMU has an articulation agreement with Northern Virginia Community College. Students transferring from NOVA should contact their Counseling Center for more information.
3. Transfer students can easily complete the required courses for the ISAT degree in two years. Seats in ISAT courses are guaranteed for ISAT majors. ISAT 211, 231, and 131 are usually offered in the summer for students who want to get an early start.
4. For some sectors, students can take the equivalent foundation courses at the community college:

Sector	Foundation Course	VCCS Equivalent	RBC Equivalent
Environment	GISAT 112	CHM 111	Chemistry 101
Biosystems	GISAT 113	BIO 101 & 205 or 206	No equivalent
Energy	ISAT 212	PHY 241-242 and MTH 173 & 174	Physics 201 and 202
