Management Major
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.
