An education lasts a lifetime. At Culver-Stockton, our educational qualities have endured since 1853. We enjoy a distinctive focus, combining the personality of a traditional liberal arts environment with outstanding technology and practical learning experiences. Our heritage with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) offers students a caring and supportive community. We remain a value among regional leaders, as our tuition places us among the most affordable programs of our type. Given our superb record, it's no wonder that Culver-Stockton was named one of "America's Best Christian Colleges" in 1999 and 2001.

Culver-Stockton has an uncommon record of innovation. Early pioneers with the church founded the college as the first institution of higher learning west of the Mississippi chartered expressly for coeducation. Today, Culver-Stockton continues to set an enviable technological pace. Our community is among the most technologically "wired" of small college campuses, with fast and reliable Internet and e-mail access for each student in every residence hall room.

Advertised college costs represent only 78% of the total cost of educating a student, while the support of our alumni, friends, and other donors helps defray the costs through our endowment. Over 90% of Culver-Stockton students benefit from financial assistance.

Our residence halls offer a community of fellowship and friendship, within a safe and nurturing environment. Our church relationship offers students the opportunity to examine their own faith. More than one-quarter of our students participate in NAIA intercollegiate athletics, while roughly half join Greek organizations. Our fine arts program is among the finest in our region.

Culver-Stockton College is related by covenant to the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
