WHAT COLLEGE WAS MEANT TO BE

 

Founded in 1853, Monmouth College is a nationally-ranked liberal arts college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Located in western Illinois, midway between Chicago and St. Louis, Monmouth has an enrollment of 1,350 students, most of whom live on campus in eleven attractive residence halls and a modern apartment complex.

Monmouth's faculty devotes its full attention to undergraduate teaching. A new general-education based curriculum, designed to better prepare students for the challenges of living and working in the 21st century, was recently adopted.
