Default access modifier for new C#-classes in Visual Studio 2022

Question

When I generate a new class in Visual Studio (C#), I would like to have the default access modifier changed from "internal" to "public". E.g.:

public class Animal
{
}

instead of:

internal class Animal
{
}

Is there a setting in Visual Studio (2022) where the default access modifier for new classes can be set?
