Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Monmouth College decreased from 1 to 0 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 IL 4-year peers in this comparison, Monmouth College is larger than 72% and safer-reporting than 17% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Monmouth College fell from 1 to 0 (-100%). The decrease shows up in Fondling (1 to 0).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Monmouth College
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Fondling.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Incest. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Monmouth College sits on price and outcomes
At $17,133, Monmouth College's reported average net price is cheaper than 54% among 178 Illinois colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $15,405.
- $17,133
- average net price
- $15,405
- Illinois median
- 1.6×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $9,195
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $12,483 for families reporting under $30,000 against $21,678 above $110,000, a difference of $9,195. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $17,133 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $43,158, roughly 2.5 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
