“I truly believe that one of Carthage’s strengths is that there is a personal connection to faculty. I have never felt like just a number.”

“Coming to Carthage was easily the best decision I have ever made. The people here are so kind, the professors are always willing to help and want you to succeed, and there are so many ways to get involved. Carthage will always and forever be one of my favorite places.”

“I chose Carthage because I wanted that small school feel, so I would be able to form good relationships with my professors. Carthage is pretty close to my home but also far enough to get that independence that I wanted. Lastly, the campus was just so pretty, and I loved the view of the lake every morning!” 

“Prof. Maltsev and Prof. Jewell teach in the business setting and have graciously given me a lot of their time, in and out of the classroom. They taught me so many things about accounting and economics, which allowed me to think much more clearly about my future.”

The business program develops well-rounded students, and the business itself is an extremely rewarding career.”

“The small class sizes at Carthage allowed me to develop a more impactful relationship with professors, which made me more comfortable speaking up in class when I didn’t understand something or when I felt passionate about a topic.”
