- School Information
- "Our commitment to transformative learning is founded on three core principles: an intellectually challenging and rigorous academic experience built on a strong foundation in the liberal arts; learning experiences that are both immersive and that extend beyond the classroom; and preparation for life after Monmouth. To enhance the breadth and impact of our commitment, we offer a high level of personalization for each student, infusing the Monmouth Experience throughout every aspect of campus life." The school has a 12:1 student-faculty ratio and offers five-year baccalaureate/masters programs in addition to its bachelors, graduate, and doctoral degree programs.
