Issue processing Spring MVC form with multiple dropdown menus

I have a form with two dropdown menus to select a student and a course the student will take. When I load the page with this form, I get errors that I will include below.

Here is my jsp form.

assignStudent.jsp

<%@taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" prefix="form"%>
<%@include file="header.jsp"%>
<p>
<h2>Assign a Student to a Course</h2>
<br />
<form:form method="POST" action="/myApp/assignStudent">
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Student</th>
        <th>Course</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <form:select path="studentMap" items="${studentMap}">
            </form:select>
        </td>
        <td>
            <form:select path="courseMap" items="${courseMap}">
            </form:select>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td align="center" colspan="2"><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
</table>
</form:form>
</p>
<%@include file="footer.jsp"%>

Here is the relevant section of my controller class that I've been tinkering with:

@RequestMapping(value = "/assignStudent", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView enrollInCourse()
{
    Map<Integer, String> studentMap = new HashMap<Integer, String>();

    //Create a map to put into the student dropdown menu
    for (Student s : studentDAO.allStudents())
    {
        String fullName = s.getFirstName() + " " + s.getLastName();

        studentMap.put(s.getStudentID(), fullName);
    }

    Map<Integer, String> courseMap = new HashMap<Integer, String>();

    //Create a map to put into the course dropdown menu
    for (Course c : courseDAO.allCourses())
    {           
        courseMap.put(c.getCourseID(), c.getCourseName());
    }

    ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("assignStudent", "command", new StudentCourse());

    model.addObject("studentMap", studentMap);
    model.addObject("courseMap", courseMap);

    return model;
}

Following is the error message I get:

HTTP Status 500 - An exception occurred processing JSP page /WEB-INF/jsp/assignStudent.jsp at line 14

I'm pretty new to Spring MVC so I appreciate the advice!
