Who are you meant to be?
It
seems like such a simple question, and yet it's so much more complicated than it appears.
At Monmouth College, we've worked hard to create an environment that gives you the
tools to get everything you want from your education. We go beyond "book" learning and help
you get to the heart of who you are and what you have to offer the world.
We'll be the first to admit that we're not for everybody. It's simply impossible to be all
things to all people, and we want to make sure that all our students are here because they
want to be. So if we're not meant for each other, we wish you the best of luck, wherever you
go.
But if you think you may be our type of student, we invite you to read on.
A
lot of colleges our size tell you how they emphasize personal attention, and how their
small teacher-student ratios make for the perfect learning environment. However, those ratios
only matter if the students and teachers make the most of them. At Monmouth College, we do.
Students and faculty work closely together to create the most seamless, comfortable learning
environment possible.
- Individual advisor mentoring
- One-on-one academic advising
- Organized study groups (that include instructors)
- Small group discussions that emphasize participation
In some cases, our students are preparing themselves
for careers that don't even exist yet. Or maybe they want to specialize in a certain aspect of
their major. To that end, we offer, custom, topical majors that fit your unique requirements.
We allow you to mix and match classes and custom-tailor your schedule to make sure you're
getting precisely the classes you need to pursue your goals.
At
Monmouth College, you're allowed to pursue your passions. With over
80 different
organizations to choose from, you are able to find other students who share your interests.
But maybe, we don't have a club that fits your interests. In that case, you are welcome to
visit our Involvement Center and start your own organization.
At Monmouth, everyone has something special to offer.
But unlike a lot of schools, we believe that you should leave Monmouth College prepared to
share those gifts with the world. It's a commitment that extends well beyond "book learning."
That's where the Wackerle Center comes in. It's
a one-of-a-kind resource that's gained national recognition for innovation and leadership. The
four year Wackerle program prepares you with the life skills you need to excel in the world.
Here are just a few of the things you'll learn:
- Leadership, teamwork and communication skills
- Community and social responsibility
- Internship and work study opportunities
- Job search skills
- International and diversity experience
