Another Prestigious Ranking for Centenary University
High marks from Study.com add to national rankings earned earlier this fall from U.S. News &
World Report, WalletHub, and NJBIZ.

Hackettstown, N.J., Dec. 10, 2019—Centenary University can now add a national ranking from
Study.com to the growing list of prestigious college polls that have recognized Centenary for
overall excellence and specific programs this fall.
Centenary was the only New Jersey institution included in Study.com’s listing of the Best
Online Business Degree Programs, spotlighting 50 online programs across the nation. The
annual ranking recognizes universities for high quality business programs that are accessible
and affordable. Centenary was cited for its flexible online and blended programs for both
undergraduate and graduate students, including accounting and business administration
degrees with concentrations in areas such as data analytics, management, and social media
marketing.
The recognition from Study.com is the fourth major accolade received by the University
this fall. Centenary was also recently cited in rankings by U.S. News & World Report, WalletHub,
and NJBIZ.
“These rankings have reinforced the pride students and alumni feel for Centenary
University,” said Amy D’Olivo, Ph.D., vice president for academic affairs. “It’s gratifying that so
many institutions are recognizing what we have known all along—Centenary offers outstanding
opportunities that propel our graduates to extraordinary career success.”

WalletHub, a leading personal finance website, named Centenary the sixth best among
the state’s colleges and universities. The website’s annual rankings determine the top-
performing schools at the lowest possible cost to undergraduates, considering data including
selectivity, student-faculty ratio, cost and financing, graduation rate, and career outcomes.
In addition, NJBIZ included Centenary among the top three MBA programs in the state,
based on the votes of readers. The University’s third place ranking reflects the excellence of its
MBA program and the high level of satisfaction of alumni and students.
Earlier this fall, U.S. News & World Report ranked Centenary 34th among Top
Performers on Social Mobility—Regional Universities North. New in 2020, this category
recognizes schools that are successful in advancing the social mobility of economically
challenged students through programs that support retention and, ultimately, lead to higher
graduation rates. Centenary placed sixth among the 11 New Jersey universities ranked in this
category. Centenary also climbed 23 places in U.S. News & World Report’s Best
Colleges—Regional Universities North category, placing 119 th overall and eighth in New Jersey.
