All students entering Monmouth University during the Fall 1997 semester and after will be required to complete an Experiential Education requirement. The minimum number of credits to graduate is 128. Some academic programs will exceed that amount. The Edward G. Schlaefer School provides special academic and advising services for students who have not met regular admission requirements, but appear to have the potential for success in college. The program sharpens the focus of education for underprepared students, helping them make a smoother transition into the regular undergraduate population.
University life is very different from high school.
This is a transition time for all involved, regardless of whether your student is living on campus or commuting. Career services in the LCAC are structured to assist students in developing appropriate occupational goals prior to graduation. Resources at the LCAC include Placement, Cooperative Education, Career Counseling, Volunteer and Experiential Programs, Federal Work Study Employment Services, Off-Campus Job Placement Services, Undeclared Advising, and a Shadow Program. Therefore, the freshman year can be time for students to explore majors and careers. An advising program for undeclared majors offers students the opportunity to explore options for up to two years before declaring a major.
