Submit your high school transcript, ACT or SAT scores, and a personal essay. The college requires a $25 application fee, though fee waivers are available.
The nursing program is significantly more competitive than general admission due to limited clinical placements and state licensing requirements. Nursing applicants should apply early and maintain strong science grades, as the program has specific prerequisite courses and a separate application process after completing foundational coursework.
Housing is guaranteed for first-year students, and you'll need to submit your housing application and deposit by May 1 to secure your preferred residence hall. The college requires all unmarried students under 21 to live on campus unless they live with family within 50 miles of Canton.
Culver-Stockton operates on a trimester system with three 12-week terms, which means a faster pace than traditional semesters. You'll take fewer courses at once but complete them more quickly. This system allows for January and May travel courses, which are popular among students.
The campus sits on 135 acres overlooking the Mississippi River in Canton, Missouri, a small town of about 2,400 people. The nearest major city is Quincy, Illinois, about 20 minutes away. If you prefer urban environments, consider whether the rural setting fits your lifestyle preferences.
