Monmouth University’s coastal campus is one hour away from New York City and Philadelphia, and close to neighboring Asbury Park and Red Bank, allowing students to explore their interests in a dynamic setting. Monmouth’s location provides a large university experience with a personalized approach to education, while expanding internship opportunities and providing students with meaningful college experiences. Rising as a private, non-sectarian, Division I institution, students don’t just build on their exciting passion but amplify their future.

With a diverse student body of approximately 3,700 undergraduate and 1,100 graduate students, Monmouth is large enough to have dozens of majors and degree programs and a breadth of student resources, yet still small enough that instant connections can evolve into life-long friendships and professors can quickly become important mentors.

Students can also participate in over 120 active clubs and organizations, including intramurals and recreational clubs, fraternities and sororities, and media organizations. Visit Monmouth’s 170-acre campus, just a mile from the beach, and you’ll quickly feel the warm, friendly atmosphere and appreciate the historic architecture mingled among modern academic buildings and residence halls. An in-person visit is the best way to get to know Monmouth, experience the positive energy and enthusiasm of students, and learn firsthand why Monmouth could be the perfect fit for you.

What Others are Saying

“I know that everything I did at Monmouth will play a role in my future. That’s why I did mentoring: to enlighten people and help the younger generation. That’s why I joined BSU: to learn how to be a leader and throw events. That’s why I joined Blue Hawk Records: to learn how to work with other artists and see how a label works. Everything I’ve done here has been for a reason, and I’m grateful I’ve had these opportunities. Without them, I don’t know where I’d be.”
