I am a first year employee at William Carey University after having retired from the military and also from Gulf Coast Community College. I have really enjoyed teaching here because the environment is similar to the community college where you at least recognize faces that you see from time to time. I have been extremely impressed by the technology that the school uses. It is way ahead of the community college and even the local university where I teach in the summers. The staff is extremely knowledgable and helpful and willing to go the extra mile to meet your needs. As compared to other schools, it is much easier to implement changes in text books, or to implement something new, or to just place an order for supplies than anywhere I have been. After 40+ years teaching I can honestly say that William Carey University is the best place I have ever worked. Too bad I am so late discovering this gem. The only negative that I have experienced is getting accustomed to the 10-week trimester system after having been on a semester system in my previous work experience. However, this is good for the student because you are only taking 2-3 courses at a time rather than 4-5 typical of the semester system. The pace is fast but if you are in a course that you do not particularly like at least the pain will not last 17 weeks, only 10! You owe it to yourself to at least consider attending this institution. You will be pleasantly surprised.
