Field trips are organized to the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute, the Chicago Field Museum, the Chicago Art Institute, the St. Louis Art Museum, and to special exhibitions and gallery talks.

The Arts in London/Florence Programs are available to Monmouth College students.  These are competitive programs which offer students the ability to live and experience art in other countries.  Other competitive programs offered through the Associated Colleges of the Midwest take students to Africa, Japan, China, India and Russia.

The Chicago Semester in the Arts Program introduces the student to the art community in Chicago.  In this competitive program the student lives in Chicago in approved housing provided by the ACM.  There are independent study and seminar-type classes in the city, internships with an artist, or at a museum or a gallery, and students are able to experience the arts in Chicago through the core courses.

For students interested in architecture, another unique program is our 3+4 cooperative architecture program with Washington University, where a student completes three years at Monmouth College concentrating on liberal arts studies and certain specified art courses.  Following the submission of appropriate transcripts and a portfolio of art projects, the student is accepted into the Washington University Architecture Program.  The student receives a B.A. in art from Monmouth College after completion of the first year at Washington University and a master's in architecture after three additional years there.
