The overall graduation rate is well above the national average at 84%.Vice Provost for Research and ScholarshipĮxecutive Director of Communications and University Spokesperson University FacultyĪna R. The school’s retention rate for first-time students pursuing a bachelor’s degree is solid at 89% of full-time students and a whopping 100% of part-time students. JMU’s student-to-faculty ratio is 16 to 1, which is somewhat high but still within the range that you shouldn’t have trouble setting up office time with your professors, you just might not be able to stop them after class to ask questions. Low graduation rates are often indicative of issues with the school. The graduation rate measures the percentage of first-time students completing their degrees within 150% of the standard program time, generally six years.

A good student-to-faculty ratio means students have more opportunity to interact with professors. Low retention rates can definitely be a negative factor. Retention rates are a critical indicator, as they reveal the number of first-time students returning to the institution the next year. When considering colleges or universities, you can look at particular metrics to help you make your decision. So, those with more need will have a lower average net price after their financial aid has been applied. This is because financial aid is awarded first to those who have need, those who make less. However, if your family is on the lower end of the spectrum of annual income, say $48,000 or below, you can expect to pay less than those who make more or significantly more annually. The average net price (the cost students were still responsible for after financial aid had been applied) was around $18,708. The average amount of grant or scholarship aid received was $7,507, while the average Pell Grant was $4,455 and the average amount of federal student loan aid was $6,210.


In the same year, 62% of undergraduates received some form of financial aid. Total expenses for in-state students paying room and board was $28,182 and $45,082 for out-of-state residents. For a recent academic year, tuition at JMU was $12,206 for in-state students and $29,106 for out-of-state residents.
