Enrollment
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.

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.
