Monmouth College admits qualified men and
women without regard to physical handicap or their geographic, cultural,
economic, racial, or religious backgrounds. Each applicant for admission
is evaluated on his or her individual merits.
The College does not make decisions on the
basis of single test scores or other isolated credentials, seeking rather
to develop a comprehensive understanding of each applicant’s abilities and
potential. Scholastic record, class standing, standardized test scores,
recommendations, and personal qualities such as motivation, goals,
maturity, and character are considered.
Applicants should take a
college-preparatory program that includes four years of English, three
years of mathematics, two years of science (including one year of a
laboratory science), three years of social sciences (including history and
political science, and two years of a foreign language). Participation in
honors or advanced course programs is strongly recommended.
Applicants who lack particular courses
are not disqualified from admission to the College and will be considered
on an individual basis. Applicants who have not been enrolled in school
for a year or more should provide a statement describing their activities
since last enrolled.
The Admission Process
The complete admission process for all full-time students includes these
steps:

reviews completed applications. The Vice President for Enrollment may
approve those, which are clearly acceptable; those which are not, are
