The James Madison Dukes, as JMU’s sports teams are called, compete at the NCAA Division I level, and their mascot is the Duke Dog. Only freshmen are required to live on campus in one of the more than 30 residence halls.JMU is comprised of seven colleges serving undergraduate and graduate students. Graduate programs are offered in the College of Business, College of Education, and College of Integrated Science and Technology, among others. Undergraduates can choose from more than 70 majors. JMU also has a strong study abroad program offering semester studies opportunities in Antwerp, Belgium; Beijing; Florence; London; and Salamanca, Spain, in addition to exchange programs through partner institutions all over the world.
