Centenary College 4-Credit Core Curriculum

Centenary College's Four-Credit Course System.

Centenary College made the transition from a three-credit to four-credit course system in 2007.  This modification supports the student centered learning environment that is fostered at Centenary College, one of the fastest-growing colleges in the State of New Jersey.

A benefit of this curriculum change includes allowing professors to integrate additional experiential learning into the curriculum as a result of the added class hour per week through various methods including guest lecture opportunities, presentations, on-line discussions, field trips and field assignments. 

Examples of changes in course curricula include creating math games for basic math courses and using labs for Quantitative Reasoning. 

This change also facilitates the process for students to graduate in four years without needing to enroll in six courses a semester or taking extra summer classes.  Students enrolled in four classes each semester will graduate in eight semesters.
