I think that depends…in the Virginia, Washington, DC area…JMU may be more well known. In Florida FSU is. I would wager many people in Florida don’t really know what JMU is…I do because I used to live in Virginia. Now if the choice was UVA and FSU, then UVA’s business school definitely has more of a reputation.

I think you have to look at many things…where do you think you’d ultimately like to work, do you intend to go to graduate school, what area of business are you interested in?

Plus, they are very different environments. JMU is close to Washington, DC. FSU is much more isolated. Tallahassee is not a very large city and the airport is small and getting there is not that easy. You need to visit each and see where you feel most comfortable. JMU has a much smaller student population than FSU…that is something to really consider. Not everyone does well in a school the size of FSU. You might like a smaller campus. I think the differences in the schools reputations pales in comparison to the other differences between the schools.
