Get Oriented …
… at Summer Registration and Orientation from June 12-14! We can’t wait to have you on campus and show you why choosing Central is your best decision ever.
Why Central?
Why should you choose Central College? Ask Central students and they’ll likely tell you about the feeling they got as soon as they arrived on campus — that they’d found a new family, a new home and a new best fur-iend (our mascot, Big Red). Find your place, make your home and build a life at Central!
