Yes. I do not teach in the education program, but have had students in the education program in the acting and directing classes that I teach. The students I have worked with are mature, focused, intelligent. You will find that there are highly focused students in all majors. Of course, there are also students who are not as focused… but that is pretty typical of any college.

JMU started as a Teacher’s College. I believe they are still one of the top education programs in VA. I know they have very high placement in music and art education. The students I have talked to in the 5 year BA/MAT program also feel very positive about their placement opportunities post graduation, from what I understand.
