Monmouth University is a private university in West Long Branch, New Jersey, United States. Founded in 1933 as Monmouth Junior College, it became Monmouth College in 1956 and Monmouth University in 1995 after receiving its charter. It enrolls about 4,660 undergraduate and 1,750 graduate students and employs 302 full-time faculty members.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 90% acceptance rate means admission is accessible, but a 70% graduation rate suggests a meaningful number of students who start here don't finish, which is worth asking about during a campus visit. The median earnings of $55,900 a decade out are modest relative to the $31,650 annual net price, so this is a school where your major and career focus will matter a lot. Worth considering if you want a small, suburban New Jersey campus with personalized attention, but come in with a clear plan — coasting through isn't well-supported by the outcomes data.
