does JMU base amount of decisions per field

I was wondering (since I have nothing to do but wait and worry another 10 or so days for decisions!) - does JMU accept certain students based on what field they are going into? For instance, my DS listed on application he wants to go into Engineering or GIS there, so do they look at how many other kids want this field as well and base decisions on space? For instance, 100 kids applied to Engineering, 500 applied to Education. All the 100 engineering kids get in because they have enough slots (new program), and then the only take 100 of the education kids? (make sense?). Just curious.
