I’m First Generation!

If you’re a first-generation college student, you’ve got a lot to be proud of. Being the first person in your family to attend college is a huge achievement. We know that — and we’re proud of you, too. 

We at Monroe work hard to create a caring, supportive environment for our first-gen students, and it shows: U.S. News & World Report ranks us #1 for social mobility among regional universities!

You may be the first in your family to go to college, but you’re not alone. You’re in good company at Monroe. You stay focused on what’s ahead of you… and know that we’ve got your back.
