KENOSHA, WI (02/05/2015)(readMedia)-- Tanner Wood of Rock Island, IL participated in a J-Term study tour to Africa with Carthage College.
Students on the "Economics and Business in Southern Africa" study tour explored a stunning variety of spectacular natural environments, exotic wildlife, historic townships, uniquely sophisticated cities, world-renowned cuisine, and very lively and diverse cultures. On the tour, students visited South Africa, Botswana, and Kingdom of Lesotho and met with famous economists, businessmen, writers, and artists.
J-Term is a special month-long period of study in which Carthage students explore subjects outside their majors or minors, discover new interests, and test their creativity through classes held both on campus and around the world. It's a month to experiment, create and dream. Carthage is ranked No. 7 in the nation among baccalaureate institutions for student participation in short-term study abroad.
Carthage College combines an environment of reflection and self-discovery with a culture of high expectation so our students uncover and ignite their true potential. A four-year, private liberal arts college with roots in the Lutheran tradition, the campus has a prime location in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The campus, an 80-acre arboretum on the shore of Lake Michigan, is home to 150 scholars, 2,500 full-time students, and 400 part-time students.
