Our school is known for their liberal arts. They have really good plays there is a lot of singers and theater majors. We also have really small classes, like in my chinese class that I am currently taking there is only 10 so if people are looking for a more one on one with the teacher this is the school to come to.

Danielle

Carthage is well known for its small class sizes and emphasis on student-led discussions in class. The Carthage campus is extremely small and the student body reflects that. It is truly a community; by junior year a student knows the name of every student in their class whom they share a major with. Students living on campus know nearly everyone by sight, at least. There is a tight-knit feel amongst Carthage students that can't be replicated on any other campus.

I think mostly sports and music. But I can't be sure.

Carthage College is best know for its strength in academics. This all starts with the professors. During my freshman year, I came to know professors that were able to guide me in my studies. Here at Carthage, the professors generally are very interested in what you have to say. As long as the professor can tell that the student is truly interested in the subject, the professor will have conversations with the student that delve further past what was discussed in class. At other colleges and universities, especially larger ones, most professors never learn all of their students names.
