[we are unique] bold] leaders] wildcats]

[we are unique] At C-SC, a leader in experiential learning, each semester is divided into two terms - a 12week and a 3-week. Students take three or four classes in the first 12 weeks of the semester, and take just one in the last 3 weeks of the semester.

[we are travelers] As one of two colleges in the nation with an unique 12-week/3-week semester calendar, students have endless opportunities for hands-on experience. One of the major options for students is traveling with their professors and entire class on location around the world.

Travel study courses are the cornerstone of our experiential learning approach, so they are offered in nearly every discipline. Travel study courses can be domestic and international.

Students can earn travel study grants every semester to help cover travel study fees.

We offer at least two international travel study courses each semester, much like the one pictured here in Peru! We also have many domestic courses each year, whether it’s driving to St. Louis to experience world religions first hand or traveling across the country to the Grand Canyon to brush up on your photography skills. For a complete list of our past, present and future destinations visit culver.edu/ future-students/undergraduate/travel-study/.

At Culver-Stockton, we give credit where credit is due. Members of the military as well as law enforcement and corrections officers can receive college credit for their experience and training gained during their service. To learn more about this program, visit culver.edu/baas.
