Student organizations

Getting involved with one or more student organizations will reinforce theories you’ve studied in the classroom while providing opportunities to practice real-world business skills. You’ll meet other students with similar interests and have a chance to explore your field by making connections with alumni and potential employers, becoming involved in the community and developing strong relationships with your professors.

Study Abroad

You’ll have many opportunities to explore the world through study abroad. We are proud that 11 percent of JMU College of Business majors participate in international programs. That’s almost three times the national average. With our wide variety of international programs for undergraduate students—from summer and short-term abroad programs to semester-long programs—you’re bound to find something that matches your interests.

Starting college is an exciting journey, and as a first-generation student, you may face unique challenges as you navigate new classes, campus life and academic expectations. The College of Business's Business Bound - Summer Bridge Program is here to support you every step of the way.

Live, learn, and develop leadership skills with a small group of students who are interested in pursuing a business major. You’ll reside in a designated residential hall together and take a course introducing you to the CoB and its offerings. You’ll also participate in team building activities, a service learning trip, and other leadership development programs. Learn more about MadisonBiz.
