Message from the Dean
Welcome to the The Graduate School of James Madison University!
This looks to be a very exciting year for graduate education at JMU. The School of Music's Doctor of Musical Arts degree program was approved by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia this September bringing the number of doctoral programs offered by JMU to five. Additionally, several new master's degree programs are currently under development in the College of Arts and Letters as well as another doctoral program with core and specialization curricula cutting across multiple academic colleges.
An orientation for new graduate students (those who begin their studies in summer or fall 2009) is scheduled for Monday, August 17, 9am-12pm (noon). Mark your calendars and visit the website for more information: www.jmu.edu/grad/current/orientation.shtml.
February 1 - for summer entry
May 1 - for fall entry
September 1 - for spring entry
Many programs have earlier deadlines for application.
