May 1: William Carey Update
Friday, May 1, 2020 2:59 PM
Tradition
During the COVID-19 pandemic, William Carey University’s faculty and staff are adapting and finding new ways to deliver online educational opportunities to current and prospective students. Here’s a look at current announcements from WCU programs.
Virtual graduation:
William Carey University will present a virtual commencement ceremony on May 16. Graduates’ names will be read and those who send a photo will have their photo displayed. Five separate programs will be published throughout the day on the university website, with the first at 10 a.m. and the last at 3 p.m. The ceremonies will be available for viewing at other times after their initial screenings. For details, visit the “Events” listing at
www.wmcarey.edu.
Carey Honors:
WCU presented a virtual Honors Day Convocation for students from the Hattiesburg campus receiving awards. To view the awards, video presentations, and photos, visit
www.wmcarey.edu/page/2020-honors-day-convocation
.
Fall term:
WCU President Dr. Tommy King announced April 30 that the university intends to return to an on-campus schedule for the fall term. This decision is subject to change depending on pandemic conditions at the time, the advice of health care officials and government regulations.
Summer terms:
Registration is open for new students until May 15. William Carey University offers two summer terms. Classes for the traditional summer term start June 1. WCU also offers a concentrated, two-week summer term May 18-29. Online course fees of $15 per hour have been waived for both terms. For more information, visit www.wmcarey.edu or email
admissions@wmcarey.edu
.
Worship Moment:
Winters School of Music will present a Carey Worship Moment on Monday, May 4, at 9:30 a.m. This online event will feature a message and musical performance by a WCU student. Visit
www.facebook.com/wmcareymusic.
Cooper School:
You don’t have to choose between ministry and a professional career. Students of the Cooper School of Missions and Ministry Studies are encouraged to pair a ministry and missions major with one of the many professional majors offered at William Carey University. You can work in the mission field – plus be a nurse, business manager, classroom teacher, etc. For more information, visit
www.wmcarey.edu/school/missions-and-ministry-studies
.
Baton Rouge campus:
WCU at Baton Rouge General offers a bachelor’s degree in nursing. Its inaugural class graduated in February and has now posted a 100 percent pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination. For information about classes, email Dr. Catherine Belden at
cbelden@wmcarey.edu
.
Health Information:
In this time of pandemic, the demand for professionals with expertise in telemedicine and electronic health records is growing quickly. To pursue a career in this in-demand field, explore WCU’s Health Information Management program. For information, call Dr. Jude Haney at (601) 318-6057.
Health Administration:
WCU Health Administration and Education offers a doctoral program for professionals who want to pursue positions in executive-level healthcare administration or academia. A master’s level program is also available. WCU has suspended the GRE entrance requirement for both programs. For information, call Dr. Bettina McGruder at (601) 318-6342.
Entrance exams:
WCU has suspended requirements for the following graduate entrance exams until further notice: Graduate Record Examination (GRE); Miller Analogies Test (MAT); and Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).
Nursing degree:
WCU’s School of Nursing is accepting applications for the summer and fall terms from students seeking bachelor’s degrees. Because prospective students are unable to take the TEAS entrance exam, or Test of Essential Academic Skills, the following will be considered in lieu of the TEAS exam: 1) fall 2020 acceptance letter from another school of nursing; or 2) scores from other nursing school exams, like the HESI, NLN and Kaplan. For more information, visit
www.wmcarey.edu/nursing
or email
nursing@wmcarey.edu.
Criminal Justice:
WCU Criminal Justice Department offers bachelor’s and master’s level programs. The GRE requirement for the master’s program has been suspended. Forensic science professor Dr. Dean Bertram, retiring this summer from the University of Southern Mississippi, will join the WCU faculty in the fall. For more information, contact Dr. Karla Pope at
criminaljustice@wmcarey.edu
