Professional Experience
C-SC works with a growing number of corporations, organizations and community partners to provide students with endless internship possibilities. These internships are available during the entire academic year and summer terms. Students who get the ability to work in a professional setting during their four years at Culver-Stockton graduate ready to tackle the challenges ahead. The continued support of professional experience at Culver Stockton will keep the curriculum fresh and challenging for years to come.
Daniel Smith ’18 is an accountancy and finance major from Victoria, Illinois. During Smith’s four years at Culver-Stockton College, he joined the baseball team, worked on The Megaphone newspaper on campus and was an IMA member. While keeping busy with all his extracurriculars, he also managed to have a few helpful internships. “Having a required internship is good. It motivates you to get out there and get relevant experience in your field,” Smith explained. Because of the 12/3 calendar, Smith had no problem balancing his course load. In the future, Smith plans on becoming a certified public accountant. After completing an internship at Gardner-Denver in Quincy, Illinois, Smith was invited to work part time while working toward graduating from the College. Smith believes his professors being so accommodating of his internship and sports travel are what helped push him to work hard and be successful. “The experience I’ve gained from C-SC and my internship will benefit me greatly in my future job,” Smith said.
