I'm planning to do two years at Jones College then transfer to Southern Miss or William Carey for nursing. A student review said: “The transfer process was easy because I worked with my advisor from day one” . Another said: “Make sure you know which classes will transfer BEFORE you take them. I took a class that didn't count toward my major and wasted a semester” .
The Mississippi articulation agreement is supposed to make transfers smooth, but I've heard different things from different people. A Jones advisor said: “If you follow the prescribed curriculum for your intended major, you'll be fine. If you veer off, you risk credits not transferring” .
Another tip from a transfer student: “Get everything in writing. Email your advisor to confirm which classes will transfer. Keep a folder of these emails” .
I'm also curious about the Pathways program – does Jones have partnerships with specific four-year schools? A reviewer mentioned that Jones has “strong transfer agreements with USM and William Carey” . For students who've transferred from Jones, what was your experience? Any advice for someone just starting? I want to plan ahead so I don't waste time or money.
