View from "The Hill"
Culver-Stockton鈥檚 140-acre campus sits high atop 鈥渢he Hill鈥 overlooking the iconic Mississippi River in Canton, Missouri. 乱伦社区 is home to more than 1,000 residential students coming from all over the world to study, explore their talents, set their career goals, and develop leadership skills. The majority of C-SC Wildcats live on campus in residence halls or fraternity and sorority houses, and live within close proximity to academic classrooms, athletic facilities, dining options and countless student life opportunities. Our close-knit community is home to 21 NAIA athletic teams, 10 Greek organizations, and over 50 student organizations. Students enjoy fine arts productions, mock trial experiences, student-run print and broadcast journalism opportunities, and much more!
EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION
Our low student to faculty ratio of 14:1 allows for a personalized student experience on 鈥渢he Hill鈥 that creates opportunities for optimal academic achievement. Over 69 percent of our faculty members hold the highest degree in their field and are committed to raising the bar of academic excellence. Students can choose from more than 80 majors and minors, or create their own 鈥渓imitless鈥 degree track. With our 12+3 academic semester calendar, students take the majority of their course load in the first 12 weeks of the semester and utilize the remaining 3-week session to focus on one subject. The 3-week course is designed to provide students with hands-on experience that includes opportunities in creative expression, service learning, simulations, travel study, research and innovation, leadership and professional experience.

Strategic Plan
Our seven year strategic plan has an evergreen nature, meaning it is a living document that remains a seven year strategic plan over time, as we complete one year, we add another. As we recognize opportunities for new direction due to the ever-changing academic climate, our plan is flexible and can be revised, adjusted or modified to ensure the College remains at the forefront of the Student Experience. In addition, there will be an annual review to revise goals, develop new goals and share results.
