A World of Opportunity Awaits

Imagine following your Shakespeare class with a quick trip to Stratford-on-Avon. Or your art history class with a visit to a Florence museum. If you come to school here, you have a fascinating opportunity to change your life.From spending a semester to becoming a leader in one of our more than 300 clubs and organizations, immersion in the world of JMU means opportunity.

At JMU, diversity is a lot more than you may imagine.
