Continuing Studies

Graduate Studies

Earn your master’s degree in education, social work, or the burgeoning field of business design and innovation. Explore our programs:

Master of Education

A Carthage education major works with students at the KTEC school in Kenosha, led by Carthage professor Prisca Moore.

Through evening studies, students can earn a Master of Education, add additional teaching licenses to their existing professional licenses, or complete coursework for personal enrichment.

Accelerated Certification for Teachers (ACT)

Education professor Prisca Moore works with students at KTEC.

The ACT program helps those who already hold a bachelor’s degree and want to become a licensed teacher at the middle and high school level.

Loyola University Chicago MSW Program at Carthage

Master of Social Work students listen during a class on the Carthage campus.

* A note to prospective MSW students: Loyola University Chicago is no longer offering the MSW program at Carthage; Loyola has opted to have all MSW students attend classes at their Chicago campus. Please visit Loyola University’s MSW website for more information.

Master of Science in Business Design and Innovation

Carthage offers a Master of Science degree in the thriving field of Business Design and Innovation. More targeted than an MBA program, it can be completed in 10 months.
