Carthage College

Founded in 1847, Carthage is located on the beautiful shore of Lake Michigan in Kenosha, Wisconsin, midway between Chicago and Milwaukee. Widely recognized for excellence, Carthage provides students with rare access to opportunities and facilities that cultivate the dynamic skills they need for life in a changing world.

Carthage professors know their students — not just by name, but by what captivates them. Our 13:1 student-to-faculty ratio ensures personal attention. We offer the Bachelor of Arts degree, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a Master of Education degree, and a Master of Science in business, design and innovation

Carthage was founded by Lutheran pioneers in education in 1847, and Abraham Lincoln was an early Trustee. Throughout our 170+ years, the core of a Carthage education has stayed the same: Provide students with a strong academic, moral, and intellectual compass, so they go into to the world perceptive, resourceful, and ready to lead.                                                                                Carthage is one of only two liberal arts colleges in the country to lead NASA’s Space Grant Consortium, and we’ve been sending students into zero-g for more than a decade. Our students build experiments that fly on Blue Origin rockets and are headed for the International Space Station.

And that’s just in our space sciences program. 
At Carthage, research is built into the student experience.
