Monmouth University is a private university located in West Long Branch, Monmouth County, New Jersey, USA.

Founded in 1933 as Monmouth Junior College, he became Monmouth College in 1956, and then Monmouth University in 1995 after receiving his charter.

There are approximately 4,400 full-time students and 260 part-time students and 1,750 graduate students, as well as 302 permanent faculty members. About 80% of the faculty members hold Ph.D.s or other terminal degrees in their field of study. The student-to-faculty ratio of universities is about 14: 1. Due to the relatively small student population, class sizes are limited between 20 and 35 and no classes are taught by teaching assistants. Forty-four percent of students live on campus. Most of Monmouth's student body is drawn from the northeastern United States, though students from 29 states and 28 foreign countries add to the diversity of schools.

Building

Woodrow Wilson Hall

The core of the Monmouth University campus is Wilson Hall. Originally, it was the home site of Shadow Lawn, built in 1903 and accommodating 52 rooms. US President Woodrow Wilson lived in the mansion during his campaign in the summer of 1916.

After Shadow Lawn was destroyed by a fire in 1927, the building that will be Wilson Hall was built as a residence for Mr. & amp; Mrs. Hubert Templeton Parson. Mr. Parson is the former head of the Woolworth Company F.W. The building was designed by Horace Trumbauer and Julian Abele. Abele is considered the first professional African American architect.

Wilson Hall became a municipal property during the Great Depression and until Monmouth University gained ownership, it was home to Highland Manor Junior College, a women's school. Today, it is a National Historic Landmark. Some classrooms and administrative offices are inside the building.

Wilson Hall was named for the National Register of Historic Places on March 28, 1978 under the name Shadow Lawn. It was named National Historic Landmark on February 4, 1985.

Wilson Hall also hosted the movie version of Annie, starring Aileen Quinn. Some of the scenes in the film are filmed inside and outside the building along with the rest of Monmouth University's Campus. Wilson Hall was used as the home of Daddy Warbucks.

Memorial Library Murry and Leonie Guggenheim

In 1903, Murry Guggenheim (1858-1939), son of Meyer Guggenheim, bought property in West Long Branch to build a summer home for himself and his wife, Leonie. The original structure of the Beaux-Arts mansion, designed by CarrÃÆ'¨re and Hastings now is the wing of Murry and Leonie Guggenheim of the Monmouth University Library.

It was also added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 28, 1978.

Monmouth University (then still Monmouth College), added football to the sports team's schoolbook in 1993. The team's first game was played on September 25 that year. The first point in school history is printed on a strange defensive game by intercepting and returning a two-point conversion.

A new multipurpose center opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on September 16, 2009. The 153,200 square foot (14,230 m ² ) center currently serves as an indoor athletic structure. The partnership agreement with OceanFirst Bank named the facility as OceanFirst Bank Center in June 2016. It is home to 4,100 competitions; 200 meters; six-lane indoor track; locker room; education and conference rooms; basic bookstore; and a fitness center. The new facility is adjacent to William T. Boylan Gymnasium, a 2,500-seat arena built in 1965.
