Major in Marketing at Carthage

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.

“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.”

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.

First-class Learning Center

The A. W. Clausen Center for World Business prepares students for business leadership in a global economy.
