Carthage possesses a dynamic, creative faculty, active in their academic disciplines and committed to personalized teaching. Ninety percent hold the Ph.D. or its equivalent. Superbly qualified newcomers continue to join the faculty. The first Hedberg Distinguished Professor, arriving later this month, has already begun to build the new program in entrepreneurial studies in the natural sciences. They hold Ph.D.s from Cornell, DePaul, and the Universities of Maryland, Indiana, and Rochester.
Additional newcomers augment our strength in chemistry, education, and speech and debate.
Carthage continues to receive large numbers of applications for every single faculty position. A national search is underway for a new chairman of the Department of Chemistry. Very shortly, Carthage will advertise nationally for the first Clausen Distinguished Professor of International Political Economy. Soon thereafter, we shall announce the searches for new tenure-track, assistant professors who will join us next autumn. The academic curriculum provides formal organization for the work of students and faculty alike.
