HARRISONBURG, VA (Rocktown Now) — James Madison University has received national recognition in The Princeton Review’s Guide to Green Colleges, 2024 edition for the 14th year in a row. The University has been selected every year since the guide was first published in 2010. The free guide shows college applicants schools that are environmentally responsible.

The 2024 guide uses data from 683 colleges in 2022-23 with more than 25 survey data points. This year’s guide features profiles of 522 schools that include details of each school’s green distinctions, such as environmental academic offerings, students working to advance sustainability, and waste minimization and diversion, as well as general information of interest to prospective students, such as admission requirements.

The Princeton Review editors tallied the green rating scores for the schools on a scale of 60 to 99, and colleges with a score of 80 or higher were selected for the Princeton Guide. JMU received a Green Rating of 93, which can be found along with sustainability highlights in JMU’s profile under the tab “Campus Life,” subtopic “Sustainability” in the Guide.

In 2022, JMU was listed No. 27 among The Princeton Review’s Top 50 Green Colleges based on a combination of school-reported data and student opinion.
