The academic reputation of Centenary has remained strong since the 1920s. Centenary is now regularly found at the top of its category in the annual college and university rankings published by U.S. News and World Report magazine. In 2007, Newsweek named Centenary the "Hottest Liberal Arts School You Never Heard Of" in its "25 Hottest Universities" feature.

The university offers 43 majors and 9 interdisciplinary minors in the traditional liberal arts and sciences, fine arts, and select professional programs in business administration, communication, education, and Christian Leadership Center. Across all disciplines, Centenary stresses close interaction between students and faculty members. Undergraduate research is particularly emphasized.

Radio station KSCL 91.3FM broadcasts from the campus, a progressive community station dedicated to community events and alternative music, from college rock and jazz to local Cajun music and zydeco.

The Conglomerate, Centenary's independent press, is a weekly publication that circulates 20 issues per academic year. The paper is staffed entirely by students, and is paid for by student fees and advertisement.
