Admissions Overview

Centenary College accepts 63.65% of applicants, making it a less selective institution where most qualified students gain admission. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1080-1260 on the SAT or around 24 on the ACT. With a 9:1 student-faculty ratio and just 615 total students, the college can afford to look beyond test scores. This Methodist liberal arts school seeks students who value close faculty relationships and want to explore music, theater, or other creative disciplines in an intimate setting. The college particularly welcomes students interested in its well-known music and performing arts programs, which benefit from the small class sizes and personalized attention that define the Centenary experience.
