Admissions Overview
Central College is less selective with a 79% acceptance rate. Most applicants who meet basic requirements will gain admission to this Reformed Church-affiliated liberal arts college. The middle 50% of students score between 1040-1218 on the SAT or around 23 on the ACT, indicating solid but not strong test performance is sufficient. With strong ties to the Reformed Church in America and a focus on experiential learning, Central seeks students who value community engagement and hands-on education. The college particularly attracts those interested in combining academic study with practical application, whether through internships, study abroad, or service learning opportunities that align with its faith-based mission.
