Progressive Curriculum

Six of the seven billion people worldwide declare themselves people of faith, and that number is growing. Religion is a fundamental dimension of human experience. At Carthage, students examine world religions from many angles and receive the conceptual skills necessary to interpret religious experience in its many manifestations.

“Understanding different world religions allows us to better understand where others are coming from and how to respond to them.”
Hailee Sundquist ’24
“I chose Carthage for the location, small class sizes, and the limitless opportunities to pursue your passions. The views don’t hurt either!”
Kara R. Oldham ’26
