James Madison University
The James Madison University online MBA was founded in 1999-2000, and features specializations in innovation and information security. Both programs are “blended” and require some on-campus study. James Madison’s online program offers one of the best student-faculty ratios in our ranking (three to one). Outcomes are also good, with an average starting salary of $75,000, and a network of living alumni of 1,768 (ranked #8 and #17, respectivally).
It's not just a slogan. It is Madison — a living, evolving university where change is the status quo. Equipped with the power that knowledge gives, JMU students, faculty and alumni work toward a brighter future in nearly every sector of global society. We expand the world's knowledge through innovative and cutting-edge research, widely available to our undergraduates. We explore new worlds through global-centric perspectives and study abroad programs. We devise new ways to generate prosperity. We help those struggling with disease, poverty, handicaps or lack of opportunity through science, education and service.
With the mentoring of faculty whose first love is teaching, we help students fulfill their destinies. JMU offers each student a future of significance — not an education of mere prestige, but an extraordinary education of exceptional scholarship, inventive thinking, unparalleled attention to the world community, a university-wide enthusiasm for teaching, and a commitment to student success.
