Among the newest additions to the Carthage campus is the A. W. Clausen Center for World Business, a first-class learning center featuring technology conducive to the presentation and discussion of principles and theories, and presented in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. The facility prepares students for business leadership in a world that transcends intellectual and political boundaries.
Consistent with the learning facilities across campus, there are no large lecture halls; the Clausen Center emphasizes seminar and group study rooms, along with classrooms well-suited to group discussion. The ubiquity of state-of-the-art technology helps young Carthage students develop professional presentation skills.
