Master of Business Administration

I chose C-SC for its strong sense of community and the opportunity to continue playing basketball while earning my MBA. The connections I made with professors, staff, and classmates were truly impactful. What stood out most was the quality of the professors, some of whom I had during undergrad as well. The MBA curriculum helped me grow professionally and gain confidence in unfamiliar settings. It prepared me for future challenges and played a key role in helping me land my first job in professional sports.

The MBA program at Culver-Stockton was an amazing experience! I found the coursework to be practical, with real-world examples that apply directly to my career in the finance industry. The professors were knowledgable, supportive, and truly cared about my success. The program's flexibility also made it very easy to balance school with my professional life.

Culver-Stockton welcomed me with open arms when Lincoln College shut down. I had no plans of pursuing my MBA before I came to C-SC however, with a support system around me consisting of excellent professors, staff and faculty, it felt easier continuing my degree.

I chose Culver-Stockton because of its solid reputation that has been developed over many years. The professors were approachable and easy to work with, with many of them having real-world experience that they can relate to and teach with on many levels. Earning my MBA not only was an achievement for myself personally, but a significant and advantageous step in my professional life.

I chose Culver-Stockton because the flexibility of the MBA program fit perfectly with where I was in life. While growing my financial practice at Ameritas Wealth Advisors, I needed a program that could keep up with my schedule without slowing me down. Culver-Stockton's program gave me practical tools I could apply immediately to grow my practice with confidence.

I had the privilege of learning from professors who brought real-world industry experience into the classroom, which greatly enriched my education. When Culver-Stockton introduced the Master of Arts in organizational Leadership program, I eagerly enrolled -- halfway through completing my MBA. My passion for leadership made it an easy decision, and I couldn't have been more excited to pursue both programs simultaneously. This dual-degree experience has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of business functions and the ability to connect with diverse teams across any organizational setting.

The flexibility of the program was essential for my work/life balance. I have (3) kids and traveled for work for years. I enjoyed the MBA program so much that I also completed the Masters in Education program through C-SC as well!

I chose Culver-Stockton because they made earning an MBA affordable while offering hands-on experience through a graduate assistantship. What stood out most was the opportunity to take a non-traditional route and fast-track my degree. The program allowed me to apply what I learned in undergrad to real-world situations, equipping me with both an education and practical experience at the collegiate level. It was the perfect blend of academic and professional growth that helped launch my career forward. I was able to secure a job using my degrees -- and even received a pay increase over the initial offer.

I'm from the Canton area and a Highland High School graduate, so I was already familiar with Culver-Stockton College. While working as an Accounting Supervisor at Gardner Denver in Quincy, IL, I joined Culver-Stockton's MBA program, which aligned with my goal of becoming a CPA, as well as offering an Accounting emphasis. Since earning my MBA, I've obtained my CPA license, launched my own tax preparation and consulting business in 2023, and now work remotely for a HealthTech company reviewing SaaS contracts under ASC 606. The flexibility to study locally while working, along with the support of dedicated professors, made all the difference in helping me achieve my goals!

The return on investment I received from C-SC's graduate program is unmatched. The alumni discount, as well as encouragement from my prior advisor, was not something I would've received elsewhere. By obtaining my MBA, I was able to completely switch industries and career paths.

With my real estate background, Culver-Stockton College was an easy choice for its small classes and close faculty connections. Its 3+2 program allowed me to earn my MBA online while launching my full-time career. I was impressed by how accessible the online courses were. They fit perfectly into my busy schedule, allowing me to learn at my own pace and complete assignments on my own time. The MBA strengthened my marketing, negotiation, and communication skills while giving me a solid understanding of business principles and market dynamics that directly support my success in real estate sales.

I chose Culver-Stockton's MBA program due to the opportunity to be a graduate assistant and further my education. The online format allowed me to continue my education while also starting my career in coaching. I learned so much throughout the two years in the program and cannot say enough good things!

The flexibility of Culver-Stockton's online program was instrumental in me completing my Master's degree. I was able to go through the program while working full-time and living hours away in Kansas City. I needed a program that I could schedule into my busy lifestyle and this provided just that.

By incorporating real-world case studies, projects, and problem-solving experiences, the program prepared me for the practical challenges I now face in my career. The curriculum often includes exposure to the latest industry trends and innovations, equipping graduates to adapt to changing conditions.
