Central Baptist College

Overview

Central Baptist College, located in Conway, Arkansas, is a private, liberal arts institution affiliated with the Baptist Missionary Association of Arkansas. Established in 1952, the college sits approximately 30 miles north of Little Rock and provides a suburban setting that gives students a blend of quiet campus life with proximity to urban amenities. Known for its Personalized Learning Program (PLP) that offers non-traditional students a flexible path to a college degree, Central Baptist College supports a variety of academic programs with a particular emphasis on religious studies, business, and education. While the college has an open admissions policy, suggesting a non-restrictive and inclusive application process, on-campus housing is available to foster a closely-knit living environment for those who choose to reside within the campus bounds. Central Baptist College fields athletic teams, known as the Mustangs, but does not particularly emphasize athletics as a cornerstone of the college identity.

In the most recent statistical year 269 prospective students applied, and 172 were granted admission.  Of those admitted 103 enrolled in the school.  461 students are enrolled on a full time basis, and 103 attend part time. In-state tuition for 2022/2023, excluding room and board, is $16,200 plus fees of $1,500.
