The CLC program equips students to respond to the challenges of a changing world by deepening their faith as they discern their academic and professional goals. The program prepares students to lead by Christian principles based on scripture, tradition, experience and reason.  CLC develops leaders, not only within the institution of the church, but also as successful business and community leaders.  Full-time Centenary students who enroll in CLC examine a different topic of study each academic year on a rotational basis.
