Founded in 1825, Centenary is a selective, residential, national liberal arts college proudly affiliated with the United Methodist Church. Our students thrive in a rapidly changing world and wholeheartedly embrace its interconnected cultures, beginning with the Centenary in Paris experience that sends all first year students to France to kick off their college careers. Centenary graduates go on to study medicine (we have a 90 percent medical school acceptance rate over the past 5 years), law, business, and the arts and sciences, entering the workforce as culturally competent and creative thinkers.
