UD may be even more expensive than you are currently thinking. Those Winter Term sessions are over $5300 each and maybe $10k if you go away. I gather many people do them. We are pretty much figuring it in as part of the yearly cost or at least figuring our D will do it two times. If not what will you be doing in January, it’s too short a time to get a job.

I don’t know anything about your intended major but most people’s first jobs don’t exactly match their major. What you’ve done with a major is shown your interest and gotten some background. You may be able to get even more grounding in it by internships and summer jobs. So you may still get the same place at JMU which you appear to really like and want to attend.

Jobwise JMU is known and respected in its area.

I have to say though, that I applaud your maturity in approaching the decision weighing your desire to go to JMU along with major and career choice.
