The teachings of Plato and Aristotle. How our nation's world view affects our consequent actions and how international politics ripple through our daily lives. Which factors affect life choices.

Our humanities and social sciences programs launch students on a constant search for knowledge and the keys to understanding the human condition.

Along the way, our students develop critical thinking, communication, research and interpersonal skills that make JMU graduates highly prized in the job market.

The combination of skills and knowledge our students acquire leads to jobs and post-graduate educational choices.

Highlights

‘At JMU, I like that academics are competitive, but not overly competitive to where it could be overwhelming or stressful. I feel like this environment pushes me, but it doesn't break me. It's just the right amount. The best without overdoing it. ’

— Miranda Stanhope, Class of 2024
