Goals of the Academic Community:
We are committed to providing students with
opportunities to master skills and competencies which will enable
them to succeed in the rapidly changing world of work. Further, we
endeavor to produce graduates who are aware of the effects of
technological, social, political and economic forces which shape
the world in which we live, and who are prepared to work for the
betterment of their community, regardless of their chosen
field.
Mission Statement:
Our mission is to provide an exceptional
educational experience, designed to meet the changing needs of our
students in society and dedicated to achieving the highest level of
excellence within our academic programs. We strive to focus on the
student both as an individual and as a member of the global
community. Our faculty are dedicated mentors who are scholars,
innovative teachers, and models of responsibility and
accountability. Our staff are creative and talented
colleagues who are committed to providing a supportive environment
that facilitates learning and development.
Academic Programs:
James Madison
University is committed to providing
students with the highest quality education available. We endeavor
to pursue this ideal by integrating traditional classroom
instruction with experiential learning in a cogent, relevant
manner. Concurrently, our academic programs have been carefully
designed to assess support and enhance the quality of each
student's educational experience. To prepare students for careers
in our ever-shrinking world, we offer a variety of programs which
provide opportunities to extend the educational experience far
beyond the walls of our classrooms to other universities, settings,
cities and nations.
