Any insights about this college in Canton, Missouri?

Hey guys, I've been hearing about a college in Canton, Missouri, but I can't quite put a finger on its name. Does anyone have any info about it? Better yet, if you are/were a student there, would you mind sharing your experience? Thanks in advance!

Definitely! Based on your description, you're likely referring to Culver-Stockton College, located in Canton, MO. With a small enrollment (around 1,000 students), it has a unique “12/3 semester plan” where students take four courses (12 weeks) followed by “3-week term” where they take one or two courses on a more specific topic. This allows for an intensive study of a particular subject without the distraction of multiple classes. This is great for students who prefer more focused study periods!

It's primarily known for its Business, Criminal Justice, and Sport and Fitness Management programs. The college promises small classes (with a student/faculty ratio of 14:1), fostering a conducive environment for personalized learning. Additionally, participating in extracurricular activities is encouraged; Greek life is quite popular, and there are plenty of clubs and sports (their mascot is the Wildcat!).

Many students appreciate the personal, close-knit community and the ability to form close relationships with professors due to the small class sizes. The unique semester plan seems to be polarizing – some thrive under this schedule, while others find it intense.

Culver-Stockton College takes a very practical approach to learning. They prioritize real-world experiences and push students to apply their knowledge outside the classroom – from internships and research projects to study abroad and service learning. Plus, its location provides a balance of the small town vibe while being not too far away (about 2 hours) from larger cities like Springfield, IL and St. Louis, MO. Do take note - most students live on campus since off-campus living isn't allowed for Freshman and Sophomore students.
