Make it Monmouth. 

Website after website. Email after email. Your college search presents one possible future after another.

At Monmouth, we believe life is too short to force you into just one way of doing things. That’s why we’ve built an entire college experience — our professors, our campus life, our study abroad program — that ensures you won’t ever be left wondering, “What if?”

At Monmouth, you get to try it all

You will test the different versions of yourself you might want to become. Get involved in athletics and spiritual life. go Greek, or go global. Live on campus, but think beyond. And do it at a place small enough to be deeply personal but big enough to never get boring. A place where you can stand out when you want to and blend in when you need to.
