The C-SC Difference
At Culver-Stockton, finance isn’t just learned in the classroom. It’s lived. From your first semester, you will gain real-world experience that prepares you to confidently navigate life after graduation. You will work with local realtors to buy or rent property, network with financial advisors and insurance agents, build a personal budget and financial plan, and analyze investments and retirement accounts. These are practical skills that matter.
Our commitment to hands-on, career-focused education is one reason C-SC ranks as the #1 school in Missouri for job placement after graduation. You will go even further through immersive experiences like assisting a financial advisor in managing part of the College’s investments, joining bank lending simulations, and participating in domestic and international travel study opportunities.
You will also connect directly with industry leaders through our Business Leadership Exchange lecture series and travel with peers to professional conferences in cities like San Antonio, Orlando, Boston, San Diego, and Nashville. Over the past decade, our finance and accountancy students have earned more than $85,000 in national IMA scholarships — a testament to the strength of our program and your future potential.
