If you're currently enrolled at MSU in another college and want to declare a James Madison College major, you don't need to submit a formal application. JMC admits current MSU students into its majors as space permits, utilizing a waitlist process.
There are no credit restrictions for current MSU student admissions into JMC, but students should talk with a JMC academic advisor about how completing JMC major requirements will affect their time to degree. During the semesterly waitlist review, space in the program is assessed and a grade review confirms students are in good academic standing before the major change is processed.
To get started, please schedule an appointment with JMC advisor Emelia Hammond through the Student Information System. Emelia will review your record, answer your questions about JMC majors and walk you through next steps.
If you're interested in transferring to JMC from another institution, see our Transfer Students for application requirements and deadlines.
