My current Sr. is also interested in Econ and instate. JMU has a good business school, rated 29th. If you are looking for an alternative, you might look into Miami-Ohio. Their business school, Farmer, is ranked 22nd. As we all know, rankings aren’t everything, and that’s why my son continued to look after touring JMU. The school is bigger then he wants and the fit just didn’t seem right. Miami offers guaranteed merit of half-full tuition for 3.7/1400. It’s a beautiful campus, about 15k students, something to consider if JMU doesn’t hit the right note with you. No, It’s not UVa (which I’m partial to myself), but you’re looking for a safety school and both have good business schools.

My 2011 grad has friends at JMU that love it, so it’s really just a matter of fit and preference.
