BADSEANS #College Pick of the Day: Centre College (#CentreC) As is the case with many of the hidden gems of American higher education, Centre is better known among graduate school admission personnel than it is among the population at large. This is truly unfortunate. As was the case with Rhodes, if you haven’t explored the opportunities afforded by Centre College, then you really haven’t sufficiently explored enough of America’s outstanding schools. Moreover if your highly paid private college admissions adviser isn’t aware of the tremendous opportunities afforded by a Centre education FIRE that person. Centre is a liberal arts school devoted exclusively to the education of undergraduates. Its faculty are hired and retained only if they demonstrate the desire and the ability to commit themselves to the intellectual development of undergraduates. Here’s something else – institutional culture matters. Centre takes justifiable pride in its long history of producing leading jurists – including two distinguished members of the United States Supreme Court. The school has an actual Pre-law Advising Program that actually is more than just window dressing and puff (which is what most such programs actually are. At Centre, the two faculty pre-law advisors work with students from their freshman year to help them explore law as a profession and to assist them in the application process during their junior and senior years. The broad-based skills that law schools emphasize—effective writing and speaking, analytical ability, and a general exposure to the social sciences are also essential goals of Centre’s liberal arts curriculum. For this reason, Centre graduates have an enviable record of success in gaining admission to law schools and of performing well once they get there. Learn more at: centre.edu/
