"I fell in love with the magnificent architecture, the beautiful quad, the breathtaking sunset and the delicious food at JMU. The campus is filled with enthusiasm and lots of fun!”
Neena, from Vietnam and Russia
Studying Business
“Studying the ISC program provided me with enough skills to do better in class, helped me with research skills, with English, communication and American culture, to help us fit in to American society. I think studying in the ISC is very good for new students like me to get used to the environment around here.”
Duy, from Vietnam
Studying Computer Information Systems
"As soon as I transferred from the ISC to JMU, we started taking classes with American students. The ISC prepared me for that, because otherwise it would have been overwhelming for me. I really appreciate that I didn’t have to compete with native speakers, that one year gave me the opportunity to adjust to the new atmosphere and find myself."
