Pros: The university was on the trimester schedule at the time, which was a huge selling point. The program followed a logical plan with slightly increasing difficulty over time, which makes perfect sense. Cost was average for the area.

Cons: Very little actual learning occurred in most of the coursework. The majority of the assignments/courses required such subjective work/writings that it felt as if the entire process had been a 15-month therapy session instead of college. Every assigned reading...

The legalities class was excellent and required concrete understanding, but beyond that one, there was very little actual learning of facts or concepts.

I have loved gaining my education at William Carey University. The programs are rigorous and well-planned. The teachers really care about all students. Be aware, though, that registration and financial aid are frustrating areas. Financial Aid does not let you know about various aid opportunities that you could receive for your major. You have to do the research and ask them if they accept the type of aid for which you want to apply. Also, the graduate admissions department needs an overhaul. It is...

I love the teachers, small campus, and Christian environment of William Carey University. I feel like I worked hard for my degree. I do not feel like I was handed a degree without meeting the stringent requirements. Unfortunately, it was not a perfect experience. I completed this degree in history because I sometimes felt that I was not adequately advised in the Education department. For example, I was often told to pursue an Elementary Education certification, but I only wanted to teach high school.... Read More I was never told that there was a program for Secondary Education. I also did not feel like the Financial Aid department did a very good job advising students of scholarship opportunities or other financial aid that is available based on a student's chosen career path. I feel like William Carey University has identified these weaknesses and is taking steps to remedy the problem.

My experience at William Carey University was fantastic. It was the best decision I made for my college experience. I considered many universities in-and-out of state. However, William Carey had the perfect balance of a small college with a close community while providing a top value education. The classroom environment was excellent due to the student-teacher ration. The largest class I ever had probably had 16-18 students total (amazing right!?). This allowed time for me to ask my professors questions... Read More and to build a relationship with them. Even now, I still chat with some of them every now and then through social media. I think that for a private college, William Carey is extremely affordable. Do I have student debt? Yes. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. The quality of education was simply too good. My only gripe with the university was the size of the campus. It's becoming popular due to the medical school that opened up. Forget finding a parking spot when it is busy. However, walking to-and-from class was 3-4 minutes tops.
