Admission to SMAD (School of Media Arts and Design)

Colleges and Universities A-Z James Madison University

<p>A question for current students or administrators at JMU.....I have read the admissions process for the Media Arts and Design major that is on the website. Can you give me an idea of how competitive admission to this major is? For example, how many students typically apply to this major and how many actually get in? It makes me nervous to not have a guarantee of admission to the major.... </p>

<p>If you have a second choice major in mind, is it possible to take a course or 2 for that choice as well during the freshman year so that the back up plan is in place (ie--courses for the public relations concentration in communication studies). </p>

<p>Thanks for any information you can provide-</p>

<p>I don’t know very many stats, but I think 62% of SMAD applicants were accepted to the major this year.</p>
