What sets us apart? Good question! We’ve got a few answers.

Research Opportunities: You don’t have to wait until your junior year – we have research opportunities starting three weeks before your first year. 

Farm + Garden: Students study sustainability by getting hands-in-the-dirt experiences on campus, where your Educational Studies professor also doubles as a beekeeper. 

DIII Dominates: Student-athletes? Nah, we call our Fighting Scots scholar-athletes because that’s what they are – the perfect balance between academics and athletics.

Global Health Minor: We prepare our students to work for lives committed to asking and solving the world’s biggest problems by focusing on improving physical and mental health around the world.

Alpha Chapters: The Monmouth Duo – two of the first national women’s fraternities – were founded at Monmouth. Pi Beta Phi in 1867, and then Kappa Kappa Gamma in 1870. They were trailblazers the for sororities across the nation. 

Peace Corps Prep: The certified program gives graduates interested in the Peace Corps a leg up in the application process.

Whether you’re passionate about a career in journalism or just have a natural sense of curiosity, we offer rich opportunities on our campus to explore the possibilities.

With a student-operated campus radio station, professional television studio, literature and arts magazine, and student-run newspaper, our students utilize their resources to learn technical, media-centric skills.
