“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.”

“There is such a strong sense of community here. Everyone from the professors to the students want to help you succeed!”

“The biggest surprise for me? How much I actually enjoy my classes.”

“Carthage truly allows students to have experiences both in the STEM and fine arts fields.”

“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.”

“I love the neuroscience major! The opportunities it has given me so far are amazing.”

“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.”

“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!”

“My biggest surprise has been how many true friends I have made on this journey.”

“The professors are extremely supportive, and you can really tailor your path to suit your individual needs.”

“Carthage has given me so much. I know I will succeed because of the things I’ve learned here.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
