“We are extremely excited about our new partnership with William Woods University, 鈥� Dr. Jay Hoffman, Associate Dean of Graduate & Professional Studies and Athletic Training Program Director, stated when sharing the newest articulation agreement at C-SC. He continued, 鈥淚t is evident that Dr. Middleton and the Exercise Science program (at William Woods) provide an excellent academic program that will prepare students for professional programs in AT. 鈥� Hoffman explained the partnership between Culver-Stockton and William Woods 鈥渟treamlines the application process and provides a financial benefit to the student.”

As outlined in the agreement, students will begin their degree with undergraduate coursework at William Woods University for the first three years before they transition to C-SC, where they will complete two years of graduate study. These courses will include a variety of clinical experiences in both athletic and hospital/clinical settings. The skill-based opportunities provided to the students at C-SC will take place within the medical communities of Canton, Hannibal, and Quincy.

C-SC also offers required coursework for the Bachelor of Science in Health Science that transitions to the MAT program for any student beginning their education at C-SC. During the last six years, 100% of MAT graduates from C-SC passed the Board of Certification exam. In addition, all MAT students at C-SC attend professional conferences and participate in public relations and professional advocacy events at the state, district, or national level. As a result, graduates enter the workforce with the degree they need to excel in their careers while being prepared professionally through co-curricular opportunities.
