2. If I have a Masters Degree, but would like to obtain a certificate, can I complete a certificate program?
Yes, we offer Certificate programs in Supervisor Licensure and Teacher of Students with Disabilities.

3. What are your Graduate admissions requirements?
Graduate admissions requirements include a Bachelors Degree, original transcripts and undergraduate GPA that meets the requirement for your program of choice. Some programs require a personal statement or references. Please check each program for specific requirements.

4. What if my undergraduate GPA is less than the required GPA for the program I am interested in?
Centenary will still consider you for Graduate School. We encourage you to apply and will consider each applicant on an individual case by case basis.

5. Are there graduate courses offered at night?
Yes. Because of the highly demanding schedule that adult students have our Masters programs are offered at night so as to not conflict with normal working hours.

6. I would like to complete my degree as soon as possible, so how can I finish sooner?
Centenary has developed accelerated and online programs that will enable you to complete your master’s degree in a shorter period of time. Contact us for updates as to when those programs will be starting.

7. Do you offer summer courses for graduate students?
Yes, some courses are offered but the schedule is not released until April of the Spring semester of each year.

Yes, student loans are available.  To begin, fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to determine your loan eligibility. You can contact the Financial Aid department for help at 908-852-1400 ext. 2350 or visit the Financial Aid Website»

10. How many credits must I take as a Graduate student to have financial aid?
You must have at least 6 credits each semester. This also pertains to the summer sessions. Summer sessions one and two are combined and considered a semester. This means that you may take 3 credits in the first session and 3 in the second and still receive financial aid.

11. What is the maximum number of credits that graduate students can take?
You are allowed a maximum number of 12 credits per semester. This is due to the fact that courses are only in the evenings Monday thru Thursday.
