    SCOT LIFE

    The Scot Life Is the Sweet Life

    Your story as a Monmouth College Scot has yet to be written. There’s just something about our beautiful, historic buildings on campus that compels you to want to be part of the legacy.

    Whether it’s joining Greek Life (two national sororities, Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma, were founded on our campus in the 1800s!), contributing to the greater good of giving back (Scots Day of Giving), or promoting environmental sustainability (we have an educational garden and research farm near campus), you’ll be sure to make your mark at Monmouth.

    It’s smart to think about your future. We’ll be by your side to help you plan for life after college. And it’s a success—the experience our students have gained through hundreds of internships, plus the personalized attention they receive through academic and career advising, has helped 98% of graduates land a job or a spot in graduate school within six months of graduating.

    When you become a Scot, you’re a Scot for life. Our proud alumni give back to their alma mater in many different ways—and you can benefit from their mentorship to prepare you for success wherever you go.
