At least in nursing, the student declares upon entry but applies to the program Sophomore year and is notified of acceptance the next semester. It is very competitive. For the current Freshman class, there are 400 declared majors in the program for 113 spots.

Are students directly admitted into the majors they choose or do they have to compete for limited spots after freshman or sophomore year?

Also, Health Sciences, Biololgy, or Chemistry as undergraduate degrees to go into medical professional fields (separate from nursing). The is a whole separate advising program for that (very high acceptance rates to schools).

The majors already mentioned, as well as International Affairs, PoliSci, Econ, Intelligence Analysis, Geography, Computer Science... We know graduates with those degrees and more. A simple Google search will tell you all the majors available.

Business - Best placement for a job post-graduation
Nursing - extremely competitive program
The rest of the health sciences fall right in line there, too.

Business; in particular the accounting program is top notch. Same for health professions/nursing. And of course teaching. And music.

Same. We are in FCPS. Lots of JMU (undergrad) teachers at the ES. A few at the MS and HS.
It was originally an all-women's teachers college. Went coed in the 70s, I think.

I think of them for business and health fields. Every kid I know who goes there is in one of those majors.
The chart of this page shows the breakdown by majors and the health and business clusters are the largest groups.

I have a DD who has no idea what she wants to major in, but is interested in JMU. I'm just curious, which degrees JMU is known for.
