Advising Notes

Please Read: This major guide is a list of all possible major courses offered in the Virginia Community College System. Not all courses may be offered at your community college, and you are not required to complete all these courses in order to transfer. Rather, it’s designed to help you meet JMU major requirements before you transfer, and be better prepared to progress through the major once you arrive at JMU. Please be sure to read the advising notes for additional information on the major.

1.  At JMU CS 149 and CS 159 are taught in Python and Java respectively. Students not exposed to one or both languages in CSC 221 or CSC 222 may need additional coursework at JMU to gain experience with those languages. 
2. JMU will review students with credit for CSC 222 on a student-by-student basis for CS 159 credit.
