About Centre College

Delivering on its reputation as a U.S. News top-50 national liberal arts college with a faculty ranked #12 in the nation by the Princeton Review, Centre College in Danville, Ky., follows a single mission unchanged since its 1819 founding: to prepare students for lives of learning, leadership and service. No better proof of this can be seen than in the Centre Commitment, which guarantees students an internship or research experience, the opportunity to study abroad, and graduation in four years (or up to a year of tuition is free provided students have met academic and social expectations). Centre’s continued record of achievement is best evidenced by the success of its graduates—an average 97 percent are employed or in advanced study within 10 months of graduation. Centre alumni also offer a strong endorsement, landing the College among the top 10 in the nation for annual giving (U.S. News & World Report) and the title “Happiest Graduates in the Nation” (The Alumni Factor, 2012 & 2013).
