Major: Biology
Minor: Chemistry and Spanish

Sciences PLUS sports
EQUALS the Carthage experience.

“I love how small and tight-knit the community is, and I really love the personal relationships that are made here. My professors are kind, funny, and willing to help no matter the situation. Carthage is more than just a school — it’s a family. As team captain for our varsity League of Legends B esports team, not only do I get to play a game that I love, but I also get to play with some of my closest friends — all while studying to become a pharmacist!

Majors: Engineering and music theatre

Aerospace research PLUS performing arts 
EQUALS versatility.

“While most other schools are known for either their music or STEM programs, Carthage has great programs for both. I’ve found a way to follow my passion for music and engineering. My acting class has been awesome. We all lift each other up, really making it feel like I’m working alongside everyone else — not competing against everyone. And the engineering program has already proven to be rewarding, offering clubs like the Microgravity Team that really push you to be the best you can be.

EQUALS a clearer path.

“Carthage faculty helped me find my passions. I changed my major from biology to communication my junior year and was still able to graduate in four years. The two internships I had taught me about cameras, deadlines, client communication, and more. I’m in Carthage Philharmonic and love being around people who enjoy music and have fun while making it. I’m also on the track and field team — they’re my second family.”
