Make it Monmouth.

Wallace Hall is one of our landmarks on campus. It goes along with tartan and bagpipes as some of our favorite Monmouth things.
Class outside? Sign us up! Whether you’re studying English or engineering our professors are always thinking *outside* the box.
We love our welcome committee! Aka, our mentors and orientation leaders bring the life of the party to welcome our new Scots to campus.
First-year walkout is a Monmouth College tradition! Our students parade downtown and get to meet with the downtown community.
High fives and #RollScots. Over half of our students are involved in some sort of varsity sport.
Interested in going Greek? Sorority and fraternity recruitment are great opportunities to connect with other students and find your family.
It's a cliche for a reason. You'll make some of your best friends at college with friendships that will last well beyond your four years here! Our alumni are still friends after over 50 years.
First day of class vibes. We know you'll be great, because it's great to be a Scot!
Stressed about finals? No problem. Each semester Monmouth offers students lots of de-stress activities, including outdoor yoga with goats and puppies!
What's a football game without the marching band? Monmouth offers several vocal and instrumental music opportunities for students.

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 — from our professors, to our campus life, to our study abroad program — 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 you get to 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.
