A top-50 national liberal arts college, Centre provides a personal education that enables students to achieve extraordinary success.
 “Centre alumni are extraordinarily loyal (perhaps because they’re also extraordinarily successful). Year after year the percentage of alumni who find it in their hearts to contribute to the old alma mater is among the highest of all undergraduate institutions. . . . All of this support from past graduates allows Centre to . . . keep tuition and other charges reasonably low. The amount of need-based financial aid and the number of merit scholarships here easily make Centre one of the most generous national liberal arts colleges around.”
The Princeton Review, America’s Best Value Colleges 2008
 “Students are progressive, intellectual, and perhaps more well-rounded than their peers at neighboring schools. . . . [Centre has] a safe, bucolic campus, an emphasis on academic excellence, and faculty and students who care about forming lasting friendships with each other.”
Fiske Guide to Colleges 2008
 “Centre’s great academics, its commitment to its students through both the Centre commitment and its professors, as well as its two centuries worth of history and tradition make Centre college an appealing chioce for many students.”
Yale Insider's Guide to the Colleges 2008
