James Madison College (@ Michigan State)

Please share your experience with this college as well as internship and career opportuities. Thank you!

Hi this question was about James Madison College at Michigan State University NOT James Madison University in Virginia. Can you please correct ?

Make sure to pay attention to emails from JMC and counselors.
Most people do not, that is why they never take advantage of many opportunities JMC has to offer. To name a few MDLP, MADI, Human Rights Lab, Living Archive, etc. JMC is an incredible program if you use all resources.
Explore a possibility of earning a second major from JMC or a minor from JMC or CERES. It is not that hard but will make your resume better.
Make sure to meet Lauren Michalak early on, she is a field experience coordinator, knowledgeable and helpful. That’s how you find out about many internships.
Take an extra online class or two during summer semester to meet general college requirements, if you can afford it. It will give you more time to concentrate on your major during school year.
Consider Study Away programs, especially if Study abroad is not affordable for you. Many come with a stipend, some earn you a college credit and ALL will look good on your resume.
Can not stress this enough: READ YOUR JMC EMAILS, ALL OF THEM

Thanks so much! My son was just admitted and it is one of his top choices!

Congratulations! My son is a junior and it has been a great experience. (triple major and a minor and still graduating on time)
Feel free to contact me with questions.
