Academics

Learn, achieve, grow ...

JMU takes great pride in an enduring commitment to put students first. It is the heart of everything Madison.

The faculty consults with employers to identify the areas and skills they seek and then incorporates them into the more than 100 innovative and traditional majors and programs at JMU. All students, regardless of major, participate in a liberal arts core curriculum called general education, through which they develop a foundation for learning and explore the academic offerings open to them for their college careers.

A broad range of course offerings encourages you to choose classes covering topics you find interesting.

Professors are accessible and supportive in guiding students toward academic success because they view teaching as their first priority. A 17-to-1 student-to-professor ratio and an average class size of 29 promote the strong relationships found between JMU professors and students. Faculty members post office hours, but the general feeling is you can stop by any time to discuss matters with your professor.

If you are looking for a school that puts students first, you have found it.
