Advising Notes
View the BS Health Sciences Transfer Guide through the Transfer Virginia Portal. This guide is intended to show you a 2+2 pathway from a Virginia Community College to a JMU Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Health Sciences.
- For students who intend to pursue a post-graduate education in a professional health field, JMU offers advising for the following: Pre-athletic Training, Pre-dentistry, Pre-medicine, Pre-occupational Therapy, Pre-optometry, Pre-pharmacy, Pre-physical Therapy, Pre-physician Assistant and Pre-veterinary Medicine. More information can be found on the Pre-Professional Health Advising web site.
- For those interested in JMU's Occupational Therapy program, please note: students who complete anatomy & physiology I and II at the community college will receive credit for BIO 270 (Human Physiology) and 290 (Human Anatomy), however it is highly recommended that human anatomy be completed at JMU. BIO 414 and 514, Functional Anatomy for OTs, are required in the first year of the MOT program, and require a solid background in human anatomy. Students who have completed a separate human anatomy course (as opposed to a combination of anatomy and physiology) tend to be more successful in the graduate level anatomy courses, therefore students who transfer these courses in may be advised to retake BIO 290 at JMU.
