Apply as a transfer student to James Madison College if you have attended a postsecondary institution after graduating from high school (with the exception of attendance during the summer term immediately following graduation) OR if you have earned a bachelor’s degree at another college or university and are seeking to earn another bachelor’s degree or teaching certificate. Early/middle college or dual-enrolled students are considered first-year students.
James Madison College admission requirements for transfer students:
- Completion of coursework equivalent to MSU’s WRA 101 and one of MSU’s 200-level ISS courses.
- Submission of a completed transfer application by Feb. 1 of the spring preceding the fall semester during which a student would begin study at MSU. Completed applications submitted after Feb. 1 will be considered as space permits. Official transcripts that include grades from the preceding fall semester are required, as part of the application.
- Because JMC majors are restricted majors, admission to JMC is based on available space and competitiveness of the application pool. Students not admitted to a James Madison College major at the time of admission to MSU are encouraged to contact the JMC Admissions Office to express interest in the waiting list for future semesters.
