Students come to Livingstone College for many reasons— there are bachelor’s degrees in 23 major fields, and certificates in Culinary Arts, Event Planning, and Lodging Operations—and the school supports them across four central divisions: Business; Education, Psychology and Social Work; Liberal Arts and Humanities; and Mathematics and Science. For those seeking a more challenging track, there’s also an honors program available. There’s also special consideration given to those majoring in the Teacher Education program: grant-in-aid is offered, meaning their education will be free after federal financial aid is considered.
In 2021, the college opened a 16,000-square-foot STEMfocused Science Annex featuring a hydroponic greenhouse plus laboratory/research spaces for microbiology, human anatomy/physiology, biochemistry, and general chemistry, along with a tissue culture lab and smaller labs for specialized research. The Annex also houses a hands-on, collaborative learning classroom, a planetarium, and an immersion theater where students have the unique opportunity to study human anatomy, physics, astronomy, and earth science in a virtual reality environment.
