"My favorite part of the conference was thebreakout sessions where we learned morespecifically how to engage students of a

particular college."

"One thing I learned was to focus on studentskills rather than their specific major."

"It gave us great ideas for events to participate inas well as connecting us with the right people to

help us reach our recruiting goals."

"The Student Panel was extremely informative. It is important for employers to hear directlyfrom the students about how to attract and

communicate with them."

The JMU MBA is designed with YOU in mind.

We offer opportunities that are not typically associated with a part time MBA program.For example, all students have the opportunity to participate in a week-long

international residency in an exciting location such as China, India, or South Africa, allcosts of which, other than airfare, are included in tuition. In addition, students chooseone of three different MBA program which focus on either innovation, leadership, or

information security. Tuition is also very reasonable, particularly for a program that hasbeen consistently ranked among the best in the nation. These are just a few of the

reasons that the JMU MBA is known for its exceptionally high ROI.
