Prospective Students


We’re just getting started

Engagement is at the heart of all things JMU.

Our students really begin to soar when they take it on themselves to get involved in the many different facets of life at JMU. Lively classroom discussions. Volunteer work at a local high school. Undergraduate research. Serving in a soup kitchen during one of our hugely popular Alternative Spring Break trips.

No matter the avenue, the outcome is the same – the engaged student takes full advantage of his Madison experience and readies himself to make a remarkable impact in his world.

For 100 years now, our faculty and students have been fully involved in transforming the power of knowledge into civic change. It all starts with engagement.
