As a community of learners, we strive to create and sustain an environment that is value-centered, intellectually challenging, aesthetically inspiring, and culturally diverse.  We integrate a four-year program of general education with in-depth study in the major and a rich array of co-curricular activities in order to foster the discovery of connections among disciplines and of larger patterns of meaning.  Through these experiences, we help our students explore multiple perspectives on the human condition and prepare themselves for rich personal and professional lives – for leadership, citizenship, and service in a global context.

Offices and Resources

We know that an engaged community is a learning community. We expect all college personnel to be fully committed to promoting the Monmouth ideal of a student-centered, liberal arts education.

We know that students who are engaged intellectually and socially are better prepared for success.  Therefore, we will provide facilities and resources that encourage interactive learning, both within and outside the classroom, and we will encourage our students to be active in campus and civic organizations.

We know that in order to succeed in a complex world, students must be able to adapt quickly to new ideas and technologies, even as they weigh the benefits and deficits of innovation with a critical, curious intelligence. Therefore, we will emphasize critical, creative, responsive thinking throughout our academic program, and we will remain open to innovative curricula, technology, and partnerships.
