“I came in majoring in chemistry and minoring in Spanish. Now I’m majoring in exercise and sport science and minoring in business administration — and I still could graduate early!”
“It was not easy to find a college that had Mandarin Chinese, dance, and chemistry. When I visited Carthage, I fell in love with the campus. The professors, staff, and students I’ve met make me feel right at home.”
“Carthage was the only school that allowed me the freedom to pursue all of my passions at once. Here I can study both international political economy and accounting as full majors, and add a minor.”
“I have traveled to the Caribbean, attended a dance conference in Minnesota, and choreographed a piece for a student dance show. I feel so grateful for these opportunities, and I’m enthusiastic to experience even more.”
“Never in my life have I worked on so many shows nonstop! The diverse ways in which I’ve helped with each production have been outstanding, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”
“My favorite class has been Neuroscience Research Methods and Statistical Analysis. Being exposed to hands-on research so early in my college career makes me excited for the future — and makes me feel like I have an advantage.”
“My biggest surprise so far is how much I have grown to love this school. If I had attended another institution, I would not be nearly as happy, or be making as big of a difference. I would never want to go anywhere else.”
