Centenary College is a private college affiliated with the United Methodist Church and located in Hackettstown, New Jersey.

Centenary was founded in 1867 by the United Methodist Church and offers undergraduate and graduate studies. There are currently 1,507 traditional undergraduate and graduate students, 692 students enrolled in the college's Center for Adult and Professional Studies (CAPS), and 270 part-time undergraduate students.

Centenary College is a fully accredited member of the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

Centenary is located in a country setting in Warren County, New Jersey, in the Kittatinny Mountains, about an hour's drive west from New York City and west of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

Each full-time student receives a laptop computer that connects to the college's wireless campus network. Students are assigned a Faculty Advisor, a Peer Tutor, and a Learning Associate.

The College developed a Master Development Plan for the Hackettstown campus to address the needs for our students and provide a cultural resource for the surrounding northwest New Jersey region. The Master Development Plan also calls for additional classrooms, Lackland Student Center, a renovated and expanded Reeves Recreation Center, improved pathways, and more parking. Founders Hall opened in September 2006.
