Advising Notes:

1. Admission into JMU's Nursing Program is competitive. Students must complete the above prerequisite courses, as well as fulfill JMU's General Education requirements in order to be eligible for admission to Nursing.
2. Please Note: Transfer students typically wait at least one year before being admitted to Nursing. Students may therefore want to consider transferring before completing a transferable associate degree, and finish their General Education and/or Nursing prerequisites at JMU.
