Find your calling
During your first year at Monmouth, you will take our Inquiry & Identity course, where you will share common experiences related to understanding human values and purposes with other first-year students. I&I is a transition into the Monmouth College learning community which values the spirit of inquiry in pursuit of academic excellence.
Our Core Curriculum includes courses where you will explore what it means to be a citizen in your community, nation, and the world in courses with service or experiential learning.
Take a tour

At Monmouth, you have the chance to create and inspire. Whether you are performing a play at one of our two campus theatres, designing sculptures in a studio or playing the cello on the stage of the Dahl Chapel and Auditorium. Our Len G. Everett Galleries regularly exhibit works from the College’s permanent collection as well as exhibitions from regional and national artists, including or own students.
Fun on the farm …Lux Institute Students explore the LeSuer Nature Preserve
The Educational Garden & Farm offers students and community members opportunities to be involved in sustainable and organic food production. These initiatives promote health, education, conservation and permanence. Both intensive and 100 percent organic agricultural methods are employed.
… and the nature preserve
A 10-minute walk from campus, the 16.5-acre LeSuer Nature Preserve is a unique educational and recreational area. Rolling hills bisected by a large stream offer upland grassland, forest, riparian and aquatic habitats for study. The popular nature trail is open to the public, and it’s the perfect outdoor laboratory for classroom experiments and activities.
Undergrad research from the start
Don’t wait for research opportunities. We offer them right from the start. Our Summer Opportunity for Intellectual Activity program gives students a research project with professors during the summer before they start their first semester. Our Honors Program brings together highly engaged and intellectually ambitious students. And we are the home of the Midwest Journal of Undergraduate Research where, under the mentorship of faculty, our students participate as editors of this national journal.
Beatrix Thornton '19 presents her research at Scholars Day.
All Monmouth students complete a senior capstone experience in their major. What that looks like depends on the discipline: students may complete a research project, thesis, performance, exhibition, portfolio of work or senior seminar. Their work is displayed during our annual Scholar’s Day events.
