Hear From Students

“I’ve been so fortunate to be able to fly onboard the zero-gravity plane, G-Force One! As I am a part of the space science projects with the Microgravity Team, I’ve designed and built experiments that gather experimental data in a zero-gravity environment.”

“The physics program here is amazing, with connections across the country that I’d hope would make for a great education and possibly help me find a job post-graduation.”

“I was really attracted to Carthage for its amazing STEM program and the close relationship with NASA. I am a physics major with a concentration in astrophysics, so their relationship with NASA and other companies who are STEM and physics centered assured me that I would have many awesome opportunities all four years that would prepare me for when I graduate.”

“I chose Carthage because I had the opportunity to get large-school experiences at a small school where the professors can get to know me personally.”

“The science classes I have taken at Carthage have helped me see how interesting and complex science can be.”

“The advice I would give to other physics majors is to challenge yourself and to use every opportunity to your advantage.”
