James Madison University

The James Madison University School of Nursing is achieving our vision to be nationally recognized for academic excellence and innovative contributions to healthcare. In response to an incredibly complex healthcare environment, our students are engaged in interprofessional experiential learning opportunities from study abroad programs in Tanzania, Malta, Costa Rica, and Spain, to civic engagement ventures working directly with policymakers on Capitol Hill. Exploring new innovations in JMU’s XLabs and discovering new opportunities for interprofessional partnerships with African communities, the School of Nursing embraces “Being the Change!”
