About Monmouth College

The college was initially named “Monmouth Academy” and the name was changed to Monmouth College three years later when it received its charter from the state legislature.

Classes were still offered during the war with almost all students were females. In 1911, the college was ranked by the US government among 59 higher institutes. During the World War II, the college became a U.S. Naval Flight Preparatory School and then started offering V-5 Navy Academic Refresher Unit program. Although the college kept its affiliation with the United Presbyterian Church, the church does not participate anymore in the selection of the college trustees.
