school summary

Established in 1819, Centre is a liberal arts college in Danville, Kentucky that attracts bright, highly motivated students from across the country. With only 1215 students, we pride ourselves on personal education, and boast of our students’ extraordinary success. In fact, they consistently win the most prestigious national awards, and within 9 months of graduation, 97 percent are either employed or engaged in advanced study.

We reinforce our results-oriented approach with the “Centre Commitment”: students who meet Centre’s academic and social expectations are guaranteed 1) an internship, 2) study abroad, and 3) graduation in four years—or we provide up to a year of additional study tuition-free.

The foundation of Centre’s academic quality is our faculty, 95% of whom hold the Ph.D. or equivalent. Although active in research, their top priority is the academic and personal growth of their students.

Centre is recognized as a leading academic institution by major publications. We're included among U.S. News' top-50 national liberal arts colleges and we're ranked 14th among all U.S. colleges and universities in the nation by Forbes.

Our emphasis on international study reflects the global component of our mission. Approximately 85% of Centre students study abroad, making it the 7th best school in the nation for study abroad opportunities.

The College's Norton Center for the Arts is central to campus life. One of America’s finest arts facilities, the Norton Center showcases performers and performances such as cellist Yo-Yo Ma, Aretha Franklin, and the Broadway musical Movin’Out. Centre students attend most of these events free of charge.

Our transforming education combined with a surprisingly low cost means Centre is widely recognized as one of the outstanding values in higher learning. Consumers Digest ranks Centre as the No. 1 value among U.S. liberal arts colleges. And, Centre is the most affordable of the U.S. News top-50 national liberal arts colleges.

(sorry for the late reply!)

Thank you so much for the love! I've been interested in Centre for quite a few years now & recently got accepted for the Centre Fellows Scholarship. [hopefully, I can put that to good use!]

Also, I was hoping to attend my Governor's Scholars Program at Centre. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to do that, but
