Centenary Community 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 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.
