Centenary is located in a suburban setting in Warren County, New Jersey, in the Kittatinny Mountains, about an hour's drive west from New York City and east of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
The College developed a Master Development Plan for the Hackettstown campus to address the needs for 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.
In May 2010, the college made national headlines when valedictorian Emily Hawley proposed to her longtime boyfriend Josh Walker during her valedictory address. The couple were featured on several news outlets, including the CBS Morning Show.

He is the man they call Sudden Death and General Desolation! Sired by a hurricane, dam’d by an earthquake, half-brother to the cholera, nearly related to the smallpox on his mother’s side!”

“What journeyings on foot and on horseback through the wilderness, to preach the gospel to these minks and muskrats! who first, no doubt, listened with their red ears out of a natural hospitality and courtesy, and afterward from curiosity or even interest, till at length there “were praying Indians,” and, as the General Court wrote to Cromwell, the “work is brought to this perfection that some of the Indians themselves can pray and prophesy in a comfortable manner.””
