Monmouth University is a private, coeducational university committed to providing a learning environment that enables men and women to pursue their educational goals and realize their full potential to make significant contributions to their community and society. Small classes, which allow for individual attention and student–faculty dialogue, together with careful academic advising and career counseling, are hallmarks of a Monmouth education.
Founded in 1933, Monmouth earned university designation from the State of New Jersey in March 1995. The 170-acre, parklike campus includes two nationally recognized historic buildings, one of which is a National Historic Landmark.
In the 2022–2023 academic year, Monmouth University enrolled approximately 5,000 undergraduate and graduate students in seven schools that offer bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programs in the humanities, social sciences, science, education, business, social work, nursing, and health studies.
Approximately 1,500 undergraduate students reside in 11 residence halls, three apartment complexes on campus, and one off-campus apartment complex. Approximately 140 students are housed in off-campus university-owned apartments. Our suburban campus is located less than a mile from the Atlantic Ocean.
Student athletes compete in 24 Division I NCAA-sponsored sports.
