19. Psychology : Admission to the Major Transfer students who begin JMU having already completed General Psychology (a one-semester course, or both semesters of a two- semester course) and statistics or calculus are immediately admitted into the Psychology Major. Transfer students who have not completed these courses requirements are admitted as “Psychology-Preparation” students and must: Complete GPSYC 101 (General Psychology) and a Math Course (Statistics or Calculus) during their first semester Earn at least a 2.6 overall GPA at JMU Apply for admission to the major These students will need more than 2 years to complete the JMU Psychology Major unless they attend summer school We would like to establish articulation agreements to ensure that most students transfer to JMU as Psychology Majors rather than “Preparation” students.

27. Computer Science We accept approximately 40 VCCS transfer students per year These students are most often our BEST students!

28. Computer Science All students enter as “CS prep” students Apply for admission after completing the second programming course (CS 239), … or … If they have completed a CS 239 equivalent, after their first semester at JMU We would like to establish articulation agreements so as to allow tranfer students to enter JMU as CS rather than “CS prep” majors

29. Computer Science The most helpful courses for CS transfer students (in order of importance): VCCS CSC 201 (equivalent to JMU CS 139) VCCS CSC 202 (equivalent to JMU CS 240) One semester of calculus VCCS MTH 287 (equivalent to JMU CS 227)

30. Integrated Science and Technology (ISAT) Flexible major focusing on the student General science education stressing integration of technology fields and hands- on learning in a community environment Students become technology problem solvers and life-long learners

31. Integrated Science and Technology First and Second year classes are “Foundations”: Analytical methods Issues Connections classes Junior year students choose 3 of 6 sectors: Biosystems, Environment, Energy, Manufacturing/Engineering, Information and Knowledge Management, and Telecommunications Seniors choose one of the two to be their concentration and take in-depth courses in that area

32. VCCS students wishing to enter the ISAT major can get ISAT classes waived if they have taken any of the following courses: One course in calculus: MATH 173 One course in statistics: either MATH 146 or 240 Two courses in calculus-based physics: PHYS 241 and PHYS 242 with requisite laboratories One course in computer science with Visual Basic: preferably ITP 112 One course in chemistry: CHEM 111 Two courses in biology: BIO 106 or 107 and 206 Students who take the courses listed above can get the majority of their ISAT foundations courses waived and begin taking ISAT sector classes. In most cases they can finish at JMU with a degree in ISAT in two years (with possibly a summer class). Integrated Science and Technology
