Mission

The Adult Degree Program delivers a flexible, dynamic and rigorous degree completion curriculum to meet the individual education and career goals of our students. ADP’s non-residential program offers a framework for students with significant transfer credit and/or prior learning experience to design their own academic plan.

Admission

To be eligible for the ADP, applicants must be at least 22 years of age, have at least 30 transferable college credits and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher for all prior coursework.

With very limited exceptions, students in the Individualized Study major (the ADP’s academic major) cannot transfer to another major at JMU.

Experiential Learning

The Adult Degree Program offers several pathways for students to participate in experiential learning opportunities. Students can choose to participate in workforce related experiences, intensive research or international programs.

Degrees Offered

Students in the ADP have the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Individualized Study (B.I.S.) in individualized study, a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in individualized study or a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in individualized study. The university degree requirements differ by degree type.
