James Madison University
James Madison University (JMU) is a public research university founded in 1908 in Harrisonburg, Virginia, situated in the scenic Shenandoah Valley. Originally established as a teachers' college, JMU has grown into a comprehensive institution enrolling over 22,000 students across seven colleges: Arts and Letters, Business, Education, Health and Behavioral Studies, Integrated Science and Engineering, Science and Mathematics, and Visual and Performing Arts. Its 721-acre campus features the landmark Bluestone section — a National Historic District of locally-quarried limestone buildings — alongside modern research and performance facilities.
JMU is nationally recognized for the quality of its undergraduate experience. U.S. News & World Report ranks it No. 151 among national universities (2024), while Forbes places it at No. 136. The university's College of Business holds AACSB accreditation, and the College of Health and Behavioral Studies houses one of the most competitive Speech-Language Pathology programs in the eastern United States. The Honors College offers enriched academic pathways for top-achieving students, and JMU consistently produces graduates who score above national averages on professional and licensure examinations.
International students benefit from dedicated support through the Center for Global Engagement. JMU offers more than 130 academic programs at the bachelor's, master's, educational specialist, and doctoral levels, spanning STEM, business, arts, health, and education. The Forbes Center for the Performing Arts, opened in 2010, is one of the finest collegiate performance complexes in the Mid-Atlantic region, hosting the School of Music — whose Marching Royal Dukes is the largest collegiate marching band in the United States with over 540 members.
