Leadership for the Next Century

We are re-imagining Centenary University as a life-long educational resource

What this means is that we are here to address the needs of learners from the start of their careers and as they thrive through life.  In a time when higher education is undergoing radical change, we are building a modern and vibrant university that will thrive into its second centennial. We go beyond traditional academics to satisfy intellectual curiosity, foster intercultural competence, and strengthen emotional resilience. 

Since its founding in 1867, Centenary University has made its mark in providing innovative, open, relevant, and practical learning experiences that are responsive to students now and into the future. Students learn in a secure and caring environment that adapts for a personalized experience, meeting students where they are, fitting the way they learn best.

Who you are matters here. Helping students at any stage of life reach their true potential is our focus. We meet students where they are, caring for the whole person, and helping them go where they want to go. Our mission is encapsulated in the “We CU” campaign. We recognize, understand, value, and support learners. It conveys what makes Centenary University truly special.
