The Educational Garden uses sustainable gardening techniques to produce vegetables, fruits and honey. From spring through summer, the garden crew plants, tends and harvests the food. They share their bounty at local farmers markets and u-picks with faculty, staff and community members. 

The seven-acre Educational Farm gives students hands-in-the-dirt experiences on crop rotation, conservation and infrastructure. U-pick events are held at the farm and the garden.

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.

Half of our students participate in varsity or intramural athletics. We’re part of the NCAA Division III Midwest Conference, with 24 varsity men’s and women’s athletic teams.

And with the sixth oldest college football rivalry in the nation, winning is a tradition at Monmouth.
