James Madison University Virtual Tour

Are you applying to james madison university explore the campus using the virtual tour below..

Virtual tours are a great way to refresh your memory or to preview an on-site tour of JMU.

What's in it for me?

At the beginning of your college search, a virtual tour can be a beneficial tool to explore the campus before your visit. When you do visit the campus, be sure to talk to current students about their experiences. A student perspective is a helpful way to gauge your future experience when attending James Madison University. Already took an on-campus tour? It's inevitable. All of your college tours will blend, and you might forget the appearance of JMU's library, dorms, or cafeteria. Use the virtual tour to jog your memory! With the interactive mapping tool below you can even explore the area surrounding the campus.

Use the resources below to start your virtual tour.

Using the Map

Click and drag the little orange person to a location on the map. Locations with panoramas appear as blue lines or blue dots when moving the orange person. The blue dots are panoramic views that you may swivel. The blue lines are paths that you can navigate along.

Panoramic View

You can "pan" or "swivel" the camera around by clicking on the image and dragging your mouse or finger. If you see a white arrow on the picture, you can click or tap on it to move in the direction of the arrow. This will also update the location of the little orange person on the map so you can get a better sense of where you are and what direction you are facing.

James Madison University (JMU) Transfers: 2024 Requirements, Dates, GPAs & More

How effective are james madison university (jmu) virtual tours.

It depends how you use them. James Madison University (JMU) is a hustling, bustling campus and community. The beauty of James Madison University (JMU) virtual tours on CampusReel is that authentic video tours, made by real students, can be spectacular at capturing the James Madison University (JMU) vibe. We also go well beyond the confines of the James Madison University (JMU) campus by taking you around Harrisonburg. In traditional virtual tours, you will mostly see still, unengaging images and will not see the surrounding area at all – which is why CampusReel virtual tours are so important.

Can a James Madison University (JMU) virtual tour replace a traditional in-person visit?

If you cannot visit James Madison University (JMU) in person, then we can honestly say that we believe a CampusReel virtual tour of James Madison University (JMU) is absolutely the most effective and holistic way to understand the James Madison University (JMU) people, campus and community. However, if you do plan on visiting James Madison University (JMU) and other colleges in person, we strongly recommend that you at least prescreen your college options on CampusReel before spending the time and money to visit. Most prospective families find that as soon as the step on campus, they instantly know whether or not they like the school – but they’ve already spent all that time and money getting there! Our goal is to eliminate all the time and money visiting James Madison University (JMU) in person until you can make a strong educated guess that it’s worth the investment.

What places can I virtually tour at James Madison University (JMU)?

For your convenience, below is a list of James Madison University (JMU) places you can virtually tour on CampusReel.

• Bluestone Dr at James Madison University (JMU)
• Edith J. Carrier Arboretum at James Madison University (JMU)
• Court Square at James Madison University (JMU)
• Bridgeforth Stadium at James Madison University (JMU)
• University Recreation Center at James Madison University (JMU)
• Wayland Hall at James Madison University (JMU)
• Student Success Center at James Madison University (JMU)

What are the downsides of a James Madison University (JMU) virtual tour?

The downside of virtually touring James Madison University (JMU) on CampusReel is that, admittedly, our technology does not yet mimic the exact feeling and experience of visiting James Madison University (JMU) in person. We are working on this though! A common request we also receive from users is to add more perspectives (e.g. student guides) to the platform. Rest assured we are working on adding more CampusReel guides to the James Madison University (JMU) virtual tour. However, our selection of guides still far outweighs the available perspectives of traditional virtual tour platforms.

What are the benefits of a James Madison University (JMU) virtual tour?

The most obvious benefit of a James Madison University (JMU) virtual tour on CampusReel is that is can be accessed from anywhere. This can save families a lot of time and money compared to visiting James Madison University (JMU) in person . Another often overlooked benefit of a CampusReel virtual tour is that it goes far beyond a traditional in person tour James Madison University (JMU) . Campus visits are limited both in time and scope – how are you expected to truly understand a college in a 1 hour tour? That’s why we stress the added benefit of CampusReel virtual tours – experience James Madison University (JMU) and Harrisonburg during different seasons, days of the week, and even hours of the day. What’s game day like? What is finals week life? Again, traditional virtual touring platforms don’t include this benefit.

Private Location (sign in to display)

Registration

This event is open to specific members only. You need to Sign In

The enrollment for the university is authorized by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. The number of students admitted each year is limited by the resources available to the university.

Visiting the University

We encourage prospective students to attend a group information session and a walking tour of campus. To check our visitation schedule and make a reservation, visit our website.

First Year Student Admission

JMU’s admission process is competitive. The admissions committee works to select the strongest candidates from a high-quality applicant pool. Our primary focus is on the applicant’s academic history, which includes program of study, rigor of program and academic achievements. Optional items that contribute to the applicant’s profile include standardized test scores, a letter of recommendation, extracurricular activities and a personal statement. Each applicant is rated in the following four areas, listed in order of importance:

Academic Program

Students who challenge themselves with the upper-level courses offered in their high school (i.e., Advanced Placement classes, International Baccalaureate, dual enrollment, in addition to Honors-level courses) increase their competitiveness. Although schools provide different opportunities, applicants should pursue the most demanding college preparatory programs available. Strong students come from different types of schools, therefore we evaluate applicants within the context of their high schools.

Competitive applicants should minimally have the following:

• Four years of math with at least one full year beyond algebra II (i.e. pre-calculus, trigonometry, discrete math, statistics, math analysis, etc.). Consumer math, personal finance, and algebra functions and data analysis will not be evaluated as a full year beyond algebra II;
• Three years of laboratory science (preferably biology, chemistry and physics or an AP, IB or DE science). General science or earth science does not count as a lab science);
• Three or more years of the same foreign language or two years of two different foreign languages;
• Four years of English; and
• Four years of social studies.

Students who challenge themselves with the upper-level courses offered in their high school (i.e. Advanced Placement classes, International Baccalaureate, dual enrollment, in addition to Honors-level courses) increase their competitiveness. Although schools provide different opportunities, applicants should pursue the most demanding college preparatory programs available. Because strong students come from different types of schools, we evaluate applicants within the context of their high schools.

Academic Achievement

To evaluate achievement in high school, we evaluate grades in the core subject areas: mathematics, English, foreign language, social studies and lab sciences. A competitive candidate will have mostly A’s and B’s in core courses. We look at performance throughout the entire high school career.

Standardized Tests

Submitting SAT I or ACT scores is optional and not required in order to complete the application. 

Extracurricular Activities

We are looking for quality rather than quantity and consider the variety and depth of involvement in clubs, organizations and athletics. Community service and part-time jobs fall into the extracurricular category, also.

Application Deadlines

Early action admission.

Early Action is non-binding early notification admission to qualified first-year student applicants. The deadline for early notification is November 1. Successful candidates will be notified in mid-January and must submit a tuition deposit by May 1 to enroll at the university. Most students who are not selected for early notification are considered under the university’s regular admission process.

Students who apply Early Action do not have an advantage over students who apply Regular Decision.

Regular Decision Admission

Regular Decision is the final application deadline for first-year admission consideration. Applications must be submitted by January 15 to be considered for regular decision admission. Regular Decision is non-binding. All applicants will receive notification of their admission status by the first of April. Admitted students must submit a tuition deposit by May 1 to enroll at the university.

Application Procedure for First Year Student Admission

To apply for First-Year admission to the university, applicants must: 

• Submit the online application for undergraduate admission along with the electronic application fee. This fee is not refundable or transferable and will not be credited to the student’s account.
• Request that an official transcript from the high school counselor be sent electronically or through the mail to:
• (Optional) Applicants may request SAT or ACT scores be sent to James Madison University directly from the College Board or American College Testing, respectively.

Information furnished on applications and all other university documents and records must be accurate and complete without evasion or misrepresentation. Submitting inaccurate or incomplete documents is cause for rejection or dismissal from the university.

Transfer Student Admission

To transfer to JMU, a student should:

• Have completed or be in the process of completing at least 24 credits at the college or university level, after graduating from high school or earning a GED, at the time of application.
• Successfully complete college course work in the following areas: English, math, lab science and social science in order to be competitive. The more college-level course work a student completes, the less emphasis the admission committee places on the high school transcript.
• Be in good standing and eligible to continue or graduate from their previous institution(s). It is the student’s responsibility to provide the JMU Office of Admissions with official transcripts of work completed from all colleges attended. Concealment of previous attendance at a college or university is cause for cancellation of admission and registration. (Students with holds on their academic records will not be considered for admission until holds are released).

The university recommends students have a “B” cumulative grade point average (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) to be competitive for admission.

Application Procedure for Transfer Admission

To apply for transfer admission to the university, applicants must:

• Request official transcripts be sent from all colleges attended prior to the application deadline.
• Submit an official high school transcript or a copy of a GED in addition to college transcripts, regardless of the number of college credits completed or the number of years out of high school.
• Indicate a major.
• (Optional) Complete a one-page personal statement for review by the Admissions Committee.

All materials are due by October 15 for spring admission, February 1 for summer admission and March 1 for fall admission.

Evaluation of Transfer Credits

Credit will be awarded for those courses equivalent to courses offered at JMU in which the student has earned a grade of “C” or better.

After the student has been approved for admission, the Office of the Registrar will evaluate the transcript(s) of each transfer student to show the credits accepted by the university. The academic unit head of the program in which the student is majoring will determine the credits required for graduation.

With the exception of some community college degrees in General Studies, JMU  General Education     requirements will be waived for those students who have completed either an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of Arts and Sciences degree at a Virginia community college. For the complete listing of degrees associated with a Virginia Community College that waive all General Education    requirements, go to Transfer Advising . Students who complete one of these associate degrees and are offered admission will receive junior-level status; however, due to varying major and degree requirements, junior-level status does not guarantee graduation in two years. For more details, consult the Office of Admissions or the JMU Virginia Community College Transfer Guide.

Advanced Placement

Applicants for admission who have completed advanced work in secondary school may use AP test scores to apply for course credit at JMU. Information about AP exams is available at https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/takingtheexam/about-exams . Once AP credit has been posted to the transcript, it will not be removed unless it was posted in error, or the student subsequently repeats the course at JMU and earns a passing grade (D- or better). For a full list of available AP credit opportunities at JMU, refer to the Advanced Placement table.

Advanced Placement Chart

The score necessary to earn college credit at JMU, the corresponding course title at JMU and the credit hours which can be earned appear below. The grading scale is from one to five with five being the highest score. Credit hour equivalencies are reviewed annually by academic units and therefore cannot be appealed.

2  BIO 000 does not count toward major or minor requirements in biology or toward General Education program requirements but is elective credit toward a degree. 3  Awards vary by major. CHEM 000 does not count toward any major or minor requirements in chemistry or toward General Education program requirements but is only elective credit toward a degree. 4  ISAT 000 does not count toward major or minor requirements in integrated science and technology or toward General Education program requirements but is elective credit toward a degree. 5  ISCI 000 does not count toward major or minor requirements or toward General Education program requirements but is elective credit toward a degree. 6  GNED 123 fulfills the General Education program Literature requirement.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Awards

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a national program that offers students credit by computer-based examination. This allows students to have the opportunity to obtain recognition for achievement in specific college courses. Credit received from CLEP exams at JMU may only be awarded to current Adult Degree Program students. Students who participated in the College-Level Examination Program may be awarded course credit that satisfies a General Education requirement or elective. Prospective students who complete CLEP examinations and achieve an appropriate score (usually a 50 or above) are eligible to earn college credit. Evaluation of credit will be performed by University Studies in coordination with the appropriate departmental office and cannot be appealed.

International Admission

The Office of Admissions is responsible for the admission and enrollment of undergraduate international students. It also evaluates “A” Level examinations for academic credit.

All non-U.S. citizens and nonpermanent residents of the U.S. must complete the international student application. This application and an international student information guidebook are available in the Office of Admissions, located in Holland Yates Hall.

In addition to regular first year student and transfer admission requirements, international students must present evidence of English proficiency and documentation of sufficient financial resources.

The university welcomes international applications and is authorized by federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students. Requests for information concerning the admission of undergraduate international students should be directed to:

Office of International Admissions, MSC 0101 James Madison University 100 E. Grace Street Harrisonburg, VA 22807 Phone : (540) 568-7865 http://www.jmu.edu/admissions/apply/international.shtml

International Examinations Credit

JMU will follow the recommendations of the National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Educational Credentials when awarding academic credit based on international examinations. Questions regarding the evaluation of international examinations should be directed to the Office of Admissions.

Cambridge International Examinations and United Kingdom “A” Level Examinations

Students who participated in the Cambridge International Examination program or the United Kingdom “A” Level examinations may be awarded general education    or other credit. Credit is evaluated by the appropriate academic unit. Once CIE credit has been posted to the transcript, it will not be removed unless it was posted in error, or the student subsequently repeats the course at JMU and earns a passing grade (D- or better).

For a full listing of available Cambridge International Examination courses and credit opportunities, refer to the table below.

2024-2025 Cambridge International Examination Courses

The grade necessary to earn college credit at JMU, the corresponding course title at JMU and the credit hours that may be earned appear in the Cambridge International Examination table. The acceptable grading scale is A, B, or C, although the acceptable grade for credit may vary between courses and the level of the exam taken. Credit hour equivalencies are reviewed annually by academic units.

United Kingdom “A” Level Examinations

Credit will be awarded to those students who receive a “C” or higher on an “A” level exam. Credit will be comparable to completing the two-course introductory sequence (six credit hours) in the subject.

French Baccalaureate

Students with scores of 12/20 or higher on examinations in subjects studied at a coefficient of 4 or 5 may be awarded general education    or other credit. Evaluation of credit will be directed by University Programs in coordination with the appropriate departmental undergraduate office. The “Total Score” of the French Baccalaureate is not used to determine credit eligibility.

German Abitur

Students who participated in the Thirteenth Class (Dreizehnte Klasse) German Abitur program may be awarded general education    and other credit for examination scores of 10 or higher (15-point scale). Evaluation of credit will be directed by University Programs in coordination with the appropriate departmental undergraduate office.

International Baccalaureate

JMU recognizes the International Baccalaureate diploma and individual IB courses by awarding credit on IB higher-level examinations in essentially the same manner in which credit is allowed for Advanced Placement courses.

Typically, credit hours will be awarded for each higher-level examination on which a score of five, six or seven has been earned. Credit hour equivalencies are reviewed annually by academic unit.

Some standard-level examinations will also be considered for credit. The university encourages the completion of the IB diploma and will give special consideration for admission to students who have completed the IB program. The grading scale is from one to seven, with seven being the highest score.

For a full listing of available IB courses and credit opportunities, refer to the International Baccalaureate Courses table.

2024-2025 International Baccalaureate Courses

This information is subject to change at the discretion of James Madison University. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the scores displayed in the online catalog supersede the scores in the printed undergraduate catalog.

Once IB credit has been posted to the transcript, it will not be removed unless it was posted in error, or the student subsequently repeats the course at JMU and earns a passing grade (D- or better).

Higher-Level IB Courses

Standard-level ib courses, special admission requirements.

In addition to regular first year student and transfer admission requirements, prospective and current students who want to major in music, musical theatre or dance must also complete an on-campus audition.

Tours of facilities and program info sessions will take place at on-campus events. All prospective first-year, transfer and change of major students are strongly encouraged to attend a portfolio feedback day prior to submitting their portfolio. For these in-person feedback sessions, it is highly recommended that the student show actual works of art; however, a portfolio that consists of digital or printed images is acceptable. If time-based media examples (video and animation) are included, students will need to bring their own digital device for presentation purposes. Refer to the SADAH website for the dates of the upcoming portfolio feedback days and for additional portfolio requirements.

If a veteran or service member does not have a JST or CCAF, they may submit their DD-214 for review. Less than one year of active duty service provides three credits of health or kinesiology elective credit. One year or greater provides six credits of health and kinesiology elective credit. Students may not receive credit from both the JST/CCAF and DD-214.

Credit is allowed for courses taken at the Defense Language Institute. The amount of credit varies with the type of courses successfully completed. JMU must receive an official transcript. Credit allowed is based on their recommendation in A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.
