Management Major
Major in management at Carthage
Carrying out the Carthage business program’s mission to develop the best-prepared students in the Midwest, management majors follow the College’s 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 management majors add a second major (typically in marketing) to bolster their credentials.
“I chose Carthage because of the immense amount of connections you can gain through school-sponsored events.”
“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.”
“Carthage faculty helped plan out my four years as a double major and make my workload not seem so stressful. My relationships with professors have helped me in understanding homework, and it feels easy and convenient going to them for extra help.”
