Why MC?
Who are you meant to be? Better yet, how do you find out?
It seems like such a simple question, and yet it's so much more complicated than it appears. Monmouth College has worked to create an environment that gives you the tools to get everything you want from your education.

We'll be the first to admit that we're not for everybody. It's simply impossible to be all things to all people, and we want to make sure that all our students are here because they want to be. So if we're not meant for each other, we wish you the best of luck, wherever you go.

Do you think are ready to find the answers? We invite you to read on.  

Many colleges tell you they emphasize personal attention, and how their small teacher-student ratios make for the perfect learning environment. However, those ratios only matter if the students and teachers make the most of them. At Monmouth College, we do. Students and faculty work closely together to create the a seamless, comfortable learning environment. 
  • Individual advising & mentoring
  • Organized study groups (that include instructors)
  • Small group discussions that emphasize participation

Students are preparing themselves today for careers that don't even exist yet. Or maybe they want to specialize in a certain aspect of their major. To that end, we offer 32 fields and a topical major that can fit your unique requirements. Every major at MC gives you exposure to more than just one area of study, giving you choices & options.

At Monmouth College, you're allowed to pursue your passions. With over 80 different organizations to choose from, you are able to find other students who share your interests. If we don't offer what you're looking for, you're welcome to start one.  

At Monmouth, everyone has something special to offer. But unlike a lot of schools, we believe that you should leave Monmouth College prepared to share those gifts with the world. It's a commitment that extends well beyond "book learning."

Concerned about the next step (finding a career)? That's where the Wackerle Center comes in. It's a one-of-a-kind resource that's gained national recognition for innovation and leadership. The four year Wackerle program prepares you with the life skills you need to excel in the world. Here are just a few of the things you'll gain:

  • Leadership, teamwork and communication skills
  • Community and social responsibility
  • Internship and work study opportunities
  • Job search skills
  • International and diversity experience
What college has meant to me
"If I ever get out of here, I’m going to Kathmandu," wrote singer Bob Seger. In transit, he might have passed Awijeeta Joshi, a 2005 Monmouth College graduate, coming the other way.
