At C-SC, biology isn’t just about studying life. It’s about preparing for yours.

The C-SC Difference

Start researching from day one.

Through Culver-Stockton College’s Genomics Research Initiative, even first-year students with no prior lab experience can conduct real scientific experiments while collaborating with a national research alliance that collects and analyzes data from laboratories across the United States.

You’ll learn from a diverse, global faculty representing four countries and three continents, all holding or pursuing terminal degrees in their fields, all bringing a world of scientific expertise to your classroom.

Our state-of-the-art facilities feature advanced equipment that prepares biologists for the cutting-edge demands of 21st-century science.

And if medical school is your next goal, you’ll benefit from partnership agreements with the American University of Antigua College of Medicine and the Kansas City University College of Osteopathic Medicine — giving you a direct path toward your future in healthcare.

I am grateful for the variety of experiences and growth I had during my time as an undergraduate at Culver-Stockton – from helping serve as an Anatomy tutor to studying field biology in Belize. As I enter my last year of medical school, I am thankful to have achieved this milestone because I had amazing professors like Dr. El-Bermawy in my corner.
