Experiential Opportunities
Getting the practical experience to get the job is an essential component of the EXP@CSC curriculum at Culver-Stockton College. That means that before you graduate, you will be required to participate in experiential opportunities. These can include the following:
- Internships are required of all business, finance and accountancy majors.
- Professional development can enhance your skills and your ability to land that first professional job.
- Corporate experience takes business students into a variety of companies to see business in action, learn business etiquette, and evaluate their career options.
- Study abroad offers C-SC students a chance to see the global economy at work firsthand. The 2008 China trip included visits to Chinese companies.
- Leadership opportunities can be found through campus organizations, student government, Greek life organizations and, especially, the student chapters of the Institute of Management Accountants and Students in Free Enterprise / Phi Beta Lambda (SIFE / PBL).
- Community Outreach opportunities give students a chance to apply their knowledge and skills. Students have helped develop marketing and business plans for new businesses in Canton; provided tax-filing assistance to area residents; and conducted "Your Paycheck" courses to teach financial literacy to area teenagers through the Paycheck Partnership Program, a collaborative with the Quincy Chamber of Commerce, city officials, and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
