Monmouth University
Monmouth University is a private, coeducational, comprehensive learning institution founded in 1933. Starting out as Monmouth Junior College, it was a two-year institution that offered evening classes to high school graduates who at the time were unable to afford to relocate for college education. It became the Monmouth College in 1956 and achieved university status in 1995 as granted by the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education. The university is located at 400 Cedar Avenue-West Long Branch, New Jersey.
Occupying a 156-acre campus in a residential community, Monmouth University has at least fifty-four buildings serving the various needs of its student body. The architectural style of its buildings is a blend of the contemporary and traditional. Two of its most notable facilities are the Woodrow Wilson Hall and the Plangere Center. The former is a National Historic Landmark Building while the latter is a new building equipped with state-of-the-art communications technology. The campus location is less than one mile from the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean and about one hour from Philadelphia and New York City.

McMurray School of Humanities and Social Science, School of Education, Leon Hess Business School, School of Social Work, School of Science, Marjorie K.
