Kelley Hufendick '20, MED '21
I chose the Culver-Stockton College M.Ed. program because it offers such a unique opportunity for students. I love that every course enables me to acquire new skills that I can use in my own classroom. The instructors always are willing to help and eager to build personal connections with every student. I find it helpful interacting with other students and taking part in lively discussions online. I’m always guaranteed to have a valuable and personable experience, which is why I am glad I chose C-SC.
Amanda Huber ’12, MEd ’19
Getting a Master of Education Degree from C-SC is perfect for the working teacher. The online format is very user-friendly, and students get to work at their own pace. With each class being online, you never have to travel to campus. The professors are very knowledgeable, helpful and quick to return answers to students. I have been able to apply what I am learning directly into my classroom as well as share my new knowledge with my fellow teachers.
