Carthage is, at its heart, a liberal arts college, meaning students are encouraged to explore, try new disciplines, and seek out connections between disciplines as they become well-rounded, prepared adults.
100% of Carthage classes are taught by faculty members (not TAs).
For the first time in the College’s history, three generations of students from the same family are attending Carthage. The group of four women flew to New York to share their incredible story on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” The episode aired on Dec. 4.
