Culver Stockton College Offering Hands-On Courses
(2008-09-04)
CANTON, MO (wium) - The head of one Northeast Missouri College says the idea behind the school's new curriculum is to allow students to expect, explore, and experience a better education.

President Bill Fox says, starting this semester, students at Culver Stockton College will take traditional courses for just 12 weeks.

He says the new EXP@CSC curriculum will then allow students to take one more course during the final three weeks of the semester.

The course could involved travel, an internship, or collaborative research with a professor.


Fox says, for example, students in one EXP@CSC course will spend several weeks in Turkey with a history professor who once lived and taught there.

He says Culver Stockton College is also giving each student an annual stipend of $500 to help cover the costs associated with the more hands-on courses.
