Students come to Livingstone College for many reasons鈥� there are bachelor鈥檚 degrees in 23 major fields, and certificates in Culinary Arts, Event Planning, and Lodging Operations鈥攁nd 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鈥檚 also an honors program available. There鈥檚 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.

Livingstone is committed to preparing its students for post-graduation careers, which can be seen in the range of its notable alumni, from Elizabeth Duncan Koontz, the first African American president of the National Education Association and director of the United States Department of Labor Women鈥檚 Bureau to Philip A. Payton, a real estate entrepreneur known as the 鈥淔ather of Harlem,鈥� due to his work there renting properties to African Americans.

The Career Services Center aids in this success by supporting the professional development of students from first-years all the way to graduates and alumni, with career planning, career exploration, and assistance with personal branding. In addition, the college regularly sponsors professional development workshops, networking events, career fairs, and a full Career Week to help connect students with potential employers and help them explore their career options on a local, national, and global level.
