At Carthage, you will enhance your ability to work in the dynamic global conditions of the 21st century. Marketing faculty will also help you put theory into practice with internship and career opportunities tailored to your interests. The end result? You will leave Carthage ready and confident to succeed in business.
Carrying out our mission to develop the best-prepared business students in the Midwest, all Carthage business programs follow our proprietary READY™ (Real-world Experience And Developing You) curriculum.
Professors set business professional standards, embedding “real-world” projects and industry standard software (Salesforce, Microsoft Office, Google Ads, HubSpot, WordPress, Tableau, Trello, etc.) in their classes. Many marketing majors add a second major (typically in management) to bolster their credentials.
“I chose Carthage because I wanted that small school feel, so I could 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 love the view of the lake every morning!”
“The career options with marketing, management, and finance are endless. I have developed personally and professionally by enhancing my public speaking skills, business knowledge and vocabulary, and awareness of career opportunities in business. The business program develops well-rounded students, and the business itself is an extremely rewarding career.”
“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 of the small campus size, affordability, and the opportunities I have to travel.”
“The biggest surprise about coming to Carthage is how personable everyone here is. You are genuinely able to walk down the main street to class and have a good conversation with anyone.”
Expert, approachable faculty
Every Carthage business professor has worked in the business world — a claim few schools can make. Many bring senior leadership experience at companies like SC Johnson, Snap-on, Medline, Kraft Heinz, Subaru, AbbVie, General Motors, and LaSalle Bank.
The A. W. Clausen Center for World Business prepares students for business leadership in a global economy. You won’t find any large lecture halls; the classrooms encourage group discussion, and the multimedia equipment sharpens presentation skills. The centerpiece is the Troha Boardroom, where you might make a presentation, engage in a debate with fellow students and professors, or meet with visiting business leaders.
