Culver-Stockton College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 99%. The average net price after financial aid is $21,983 per year.

Culver–Stockton College is a private Christian liberal arts college in Canton, Missouri. It was founded as Christian University in 1853 as the first institution west of the Mississippi River chartered specifically for men and women. As of fall 2022, the college enrolled 999 students.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: while the $15,000 median debt at graduation is reassuringly low and the net price of $22,080/year is manageable for a private college, a 50% graduation rate and 67% freshman retention rate suggest that a significant number of students who start here don't finish — worth asking why before enrolling. Median earnings of $40,100 a decade out are modest, so students should think carefully about career goals and whether the programs they want are genuinely strong at a school this small (under 900 students). Worth considering if you value a tight-knit campus with Christian liberal arts roots and have a clear plan to persist through to graduation, but go in with eyes open.
