Admission & Aid
Make it Monmouth.
- We love our campus year round, but there’s something about spring where Monmouth blooms!
- What's a football game without the marching band? Monmouth offers several vocal and instrumental music opportunities for students.
- Stressed about finals? No problem. Each semester Monmouth offers students lots of de-stress activities, including outdoor yoga with goats and puppies!
- Interested in going Greek? Sorority and fraternity recruitment are great opportunities to connect with other students and find a built-in family.
- High fives and #RollScots. Over half of our students are involved in some sort of varsity sport.
- Wallace Hall is one of our landmarks on campus. It goes along with tartan and bagpipes as some of our favorite Monmouth things.
- We love our welcome committee! Aka, our mentors and orientation leaders bring the life of the party to welcome our new Scots to campus.
- Class outside? Sign us up! Whether you’re studying English or engineering our professors are always thinking *outside* the box.
- First-year walkout is a Monmouth College tradition! Our students parade downtown and get to meet with the downtown community.
- First day of class vibes. We know you’ll be great, because it’s great to be a Scot!
- 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.
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.

“From day one, people on campus were a family – and he felt like he was a member of that family, not just a number. He’s a big-city-kind-of-kid, but he felt like he truly belonged on this small campus and in this community.”
“My daughter decided to go to Monmouth because of the individual support, the beautiful campus and small class sizes. She has participated in activities that she wouldn’t have had a chance to at a larger college.”
