Moving Culver-Stockton Forward

At Culver-Stockton College, we are resilient. In the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges, we persevere. We choose to take the high road, even when it is not the easy road.

In 2021, as higher education is facing unprecedented challenges, when institutions across the country are making difficult decisions, and when the easy choice would be to limit ourselves, Culver-Stockton College is expanding.

For the fall 2021 semester, we are pleased to announce the addition of new majors with the development of our agribusiness program and a recent partnership formed with the Lower Cost Models for Independent Colleges Consortium. These exciting new programs will give students an opportunity to develop skills that are in high demand within the regional labor market, strengthening our reputation of preparing students to have success in their careers after earning a Culver-Stockton degree.

I'm also very pleased to share that we will be breaking ground in the first quarter of 2021 on the Student Experience Center, which is now being referred to as the IDEA Center. The IDEA Center, which stands for the Innovation, Design and Experiential Activities Center, will be a place on campus for collaborative problem-solving that encourages students to apply knowledge in bold, creative ways. We will be sharing more information about this exciting ground-breaking soon.

Moving forward - That’s the Wildcat way.

Dr. Douglas B. Palmer

President, Culver-Stockton College
