Monmouth University

Amplify your future at Monmouth University 

At Monmouth University, students experience the energy of big-school Division I athletics and a vibrant campus life, paired with a personalized education through hands-on research opportunities and meaningful professional connections. Our focus on real-time skill building allows students to work closely with distinguished faculty and receive the opportunities and support they need to prepare for post-graduation success. Our stunning coastal campus is about an hour outside of New York City and about 20 minutes from the arts and business hubs of  Asbury Park and Red Bank, providing students with meaningful college experiences and expansive internship opportunities.

Named one of The Princeton Review’s “387 Best Colleges” and recently designated as a Research University by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, Monmouth is increasing its reach thanks to its new designation as a National University by U.S. News & World Report. Here we don’t just set you up for success in the future, we let you start your success story today.

Which is why students from around the Northeast, and the rest of the US—40 states and 33 countries actually—choose Monmouth as their academic home. Our diverse student body of approximately 3,700 undergraduate and 1,100 graduate students make Monmouth 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 your professors can quickly become important mentors.

Monmouth’s centers of distinction also offer opportunities for students to create real-world connections through the Kislak Real Estate Institute, the Urban Coast Institute, the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music, the Institute for Global Understanding, Center for the Arts, and more.

Students can also participate in over 120 active clubs and organizations at Monmouth, including intramurals and recreational clubs, fraternities and sororities, and media organizations like Hawk TV, and the student-run record label, Blue Hawk Records.

The University offers many types of financial aid to students, and many factors are considered, so you are encouraged to explore them all. Monmouth partners with students to develop a plan to manage tuition and fees and other educational expenses, guiding you throughout the process.

Visit our 170-acre campus, just a mile from the beach, and you’ll quickly feel our warm, friendly atmosphere and appreciate our historic architecture mingled among our modern academic buildings and residence halls. An in-person visit is the best way to get to know our school, experience the positive energy and enthusiasm of our students, and learn firsthand why Monmouth could be the perfect fit for you.
