College Advice |
Question: Anyone go to Centenary College? (read details!)?I was looking at colleges and Centenary college looks good. I wanted to minor in equine science and have a major in either fine arts or education. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it. I heard once that unless you major in equine, the school is kind of looked down upon and not many people are really there other than for the horses. Is that true? Also, I haven't been riding for very long (like 2ish years) so I was wondering if it's really hard to get in or if I do get in, will I have trouble following/ catching up? *I put this in the horse category because I thought there would be a better chance of coming across a Centenary student here than in the school category so don't freak out about it. :)* Thanks for that first answer but just to clear up any confusion, I started riding two years ago. Since then, I have been riding on a regular basis. I didn't realize it was worded so weird.14 months ago
Best AnswerYes, I did. I was an equine major and that is really their focus. This was several years ago, however so things may have changed since then. The facilities were really nice when I was there. 2 years not riding is not such a big deal. Knowledge on a well rounded basis is more important. If you have a chance, take a tour and talk to people. I think you will like it! |

Question: Feedback on Centenary College?Can anyone tell me about the reputation of Centenary College MBA programe in NJ amoung other US business schools. Are MBA degrees provided proffecional enough and worth trying?36 months ago
Best Answer1. Learn to spell 'program', 'among' and 'professional' first. 2. The site below will give you some information on the college. The college is located in a rural part of NJ, about 50 miles west of NYC. My MBA is from Rutgers, which is probably considered a 'better' school in most knowledgeable circles, but I would say the Centenary is still a fairly good school. |
