Founded in 1847, Carthage College is a four-year, private college of the liberal arts and sciences in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Carthage combines an environment of reflection and self-discovery with a culture of high expectation so that students uncover and ignite their true potential. Ideally located midway between Chicago and Milwaukee, Carthage allows students the opportunity to learn in a professional context. Its beautiful campus -an 80-acre arboretum on the shore of Lake Michigan-is home to 150 scholars, 2,600 full-time students, and 400 part-time students. Carthage offers majors, minors, and concentrations in more than 50 areas of study.
