Monmouth College Homepage

In 1867, the founders of Pi Beta Phi formed the nation’s first women’s fraternity, right here at Monmouth. Three years later, the founders of Kappa Kappa Gamma did the same thing.

With over 25% of our student body involved in seven active chapters, Monmouth has a rich Greek life history.

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.

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.
