🥼 Research
Academic research is a core component of many of our undergraduate and graduate programs. Monmouth students have the opportunity to work one-on-one with faculty to pursue areas of interest and conduct hands-on research both on campus and in the field. Our students have co-authored publications in leading professional journals and presented their work at the regional, national, and international conferences and symposia.

🏫 The Honors School
The Honors School administrative offices are located on the second floor of the library. Students who qualify for this selective academic program will take specialized Honors classes each semester that offer deeper engagement with a subject through lively debate and stimulating coursework in a personalized learning environment. The program culminates in a senior capstone project with many of our students publishing their work professionally or presenting their research at national conferences.
