Love Your Future at Central College

Everyone belongs here. On our Iowa campus, you can get involved in student organizations, NCAA Division III athletics and the traditions that students talk about for years. Students love the Homecoming Lemming Race, Fresh Cookie Tuesday and midnight Breakfast of Champions before finals. We’re a tight-knit, residential community where you live where you learn.

Central is majorly obsessed with your future. We offer 70-plus academic programs in a variety of areas, from musical theatre to engineering. Central also has pre-professional tracks in athletic training, law, pharmacy and more. Our internship connections at places such as CBS News, U.S. Olympic Training Center and Morgan Stanley mean you can graduate with valuable real-world experience. 

Did you know that our private education costs are comparable to those at state schools? Every admitted student receives a renewable Journey Scholarship, and additional scholarships and grants are available. Plus, nearly 100% of graduates are employed, involved in volunteer work (including Peace Corps and AmeriCorps) or in graduate school within a year. That’s a worthwhile investment.
