THE WORLD AWAITS

As beautiful as our campus is, we know it’s part of a much bigger mosaic. After living, learning, and working in another country and culture, Carthage students consistently return transformed. We know because they say so.

No. 8

nationally for participation in short-term study abroad

How long would you like to study abroad? Carthage offers multiple options, from a few weeks to a year. Anyone can do it, regardless of major.

Led by professors, our J-Term study tours are incredibly popular. Dive in — in some cases, literally — to explore a topic you’ve only read about. Carthage sends more students on that kind of short-term study abroad than all but four schools in the country. Scholarships are available.

Or immerse yourself more deeply in a culture. All modern language majors study abroad for an extended period, but they’re not the only ones. In recent years, our students have spent a semester (or more) on every continent except Antarctica.

Carthage has become a pipeline to major international fellowships. Since 2008, the Fulbright Program has selected dozens of our students to teach English or conduct research in other parts of the world.

Madison Felgenhauer '26 “I had the opportunity to study abroad in Paris, France over J-Term! I had such a wonderful time exploring the history of Paris — particularly its significant connection to the French Revolution. Admiring iconic Parisian landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower, was my favorite part!”
