JMU and Engineering

Anonymous
I get it, kid would rather go to JMU than Mason or VCU. The problem is JMU isn't really an option for a kid who wants to major in engineering.

This program might be an option of you were interested in computer engineering or computer science and applications, which is the focus of the masters degree. To me this makes little difference when seeking a bachelor's degree.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Virginia Tech (VT):
Known for its strong engineering programs, particularly in traditional engineering fields, and is considered the top engineering school in Virginia.

University of Virginia (UVA):
Also known for its strong engineering programs and reputation, especially for those seeking elite connections and jobs in engineering-adjacent fields.

George Mason University (GMU):
A solid option, particularly for computer engineering and cybersecurity, and is also known for research, political science, and entrepreneurship/business programs.

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU):
VCU is known for its biomedical engineering program, and is also a strong option for students interested in research.

Old Dominion University (ODU):
ODU is a good option for supply chain management, data science and cybersecurity


UVA is not known as a “strong engineering school.” The rest of your post is accurate.

I have never understood why the VT grads are so consistently insecure about UVa. One would think that a VT grad would be self-confident enough not to feel the need to criticize another school.
