In 2008, Culver-Stockton College launched a unique, experiential learning curriculum featuring a 12-week/3-week academic calendar. With this new approach, our students engage in real-world learning experiences, including internships, simulations, research and clinical opportunities, and domestic and international travel study. Our students are “learning by doing”, and that model is paying off.

Have you considered getting your graduate degree?
Two alumnae share their experience with the Culver-Stockton College's online programs
|
|
 |
Brooke Bowie `12, MBA `17 a 2012 C-SC graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and a minor in Finance and a 2017 MBA graduate, knew that she wanted to pursue her MBA in order to stand out. She has been a financial advisor for the past four years. In this role, she helps clients plan for their retirement and manage their investment plans. She provides guidance in helping them understand their personal finances and investments so they can plan for a successful future.
Although an MBA wasn’t a requirement for her current position, Bowie is so glad that she took the time to go back for her graduate degree.
She chose to obtain her MBA from C-SC for several reasons. One being the convenience of online classes, she could do homework while traveling for her full-time job. Another reason was because of the smaller class sizes and getting to take courses with professors who she already knew from her undergraduate experience. “To be able to email and talk to a professor who actually knows me was something I didn’t realize I would appreciate so much when I first decided to get my MBA.,” Bowie stated. Lastly, she chose C-SC because of the cost. The C-SC MBA program was very affordable compared to many other online MBA programs.

Amanda Huber`12, M. Ed.`19 was one of the first graduate students to earn her Masters of Education degree during the May graduation ceremony.
Huber currently works at Hannibal Middle School as a 7
th
grade mathematics teacher. She has served on several committees at HMS including PTSO and Morale Boosters Club. Starting in the fall of 2019, Amanda will be a mentor to two new teachers and will head the math department for Hannibal Middle School.
Earning her master’s degree online worked with Amanda’s busy work and family schedule. The student centered curriculum of the M.Ed. allowed Amanda to research new teaching strategies and methods that she can use in her classroom. She reflected upon and improved her teaching methods and shared her expertise with the other students in the online courses. Amanda focused her research on faculty improvement practices in her district and provided that valuable information to Hannibal School administration.
We look forward to seeing Amanda continue to succeed in her teaching career!
