Carthage College

College isn’t easy, obviously. Mastering new skills, expanding every part of your brain, gaining knowledge, and preparing for the Real World is going to take a lot out of you. Fortunately, Carthage surrounds you with the tools and support you need to succeed.

The best collegiate experience is one where the curriculum and co-curriculum are seamlessly integrated. With this value in mind, full-time undergraduate students are required to live in the residence halls and be enrolled in a meal plan until they attain senior standing. Carthage’s residence halls offer an exciting environment for living and learning. Our halls provide easy access to educational programs, leadership opportunities, and a full calendar of social activities.

Carthage has glass-walled classrooms that host both business and religion courses, a 65,000 sq. ft. modern library that has ancient documents and cutting-edge technology, a building that houses a green house and two theatres, and another that allows you to practice a sonata and then take a class about World War II in the same hallway.

The Carthage Health and Counseling Center assists students in addressing physical, mental, and emotional well-being. All services are free and confidential, and are provided by experienced professionals trained to attend to the concerns of young adults in college.
