My time at James Madison taught me how to think critically, listen deeply and realize that a single issue may have not one or two sides but hundreds.”

What is a Residential College?

A residential college is a small living-learning community housed on the campus of a larger university. James Madison College is one of three residential colleges, located on the third floor of Case Hall on the southwest side of the Michigan State University campus. In addition to residential floors, Case Hall houses classrooms, computer labs, South Pointe dining hall, faculty advising offices and more. Students at James Madison College receive personalized instruction while remaining a vital part of the MSU school community.

What are the benefits of a residential college?

The Feel of a Small, Private College

  • Courses taught by professors rather than teaching assistants
  • One-on-one internship and career advising
  • Personalized help during the college application and financial aid process
  • A strong sense of community among students, faculty and staff

The Support of a Big Ten University

  • Access to world-class academic programs and research facilities
  • Extensive volunteer, intern and job opportunities
  • Experiential learning options around the globe
  • Engagement with our 10,000-member+ JMC alumni network as well as our vast MSU alumni network.
  

The education I receive in JMC is incredibly fulfilling and worthwhile. The professors work so hard to teach a curriculum that is interesting and comprehensive. When the semester is over, I am left feeling more confident in my abilities to find a career in something I am passionate about.”
