William Carey University Transition to Semester Calendar Effective Fall 2025

 

On April 25, 2024, William Carey University’s Board of Trustees approved a transition from the current trimester calendar to a semester-based calendar. This change will take effect in Fall 2025.

 

William Carey University is dedicated to supporting both current and prospective students during this period, ensuring the continued provision of an excellent educational experience. Students are encouraged to prepare for this transition and may contact their advisors with questions about their program of study.

 

For other questions or inquiries about individual programs, please contact the respective departments.

A few of our doctoral programs require different applications from the one described below. If you are attempting to apply for one of following programs, please use the links provided here instead of continuing the steps below:

1

Start the Process & Gather Information

In order to be considered for graduate admission, all applicants must:

  • Review the requirements specific to your program or degree in the Graduate Catalog
  • Complete the graduate admissions application
  • A complete and official academic transcript from each college previously attended. An official transcript is defined as one sent directly from one institution to another. It bears the institution's seal, the signature of the registrar, and the date of issuance. Digital transcripts are the preferred method, though we accepted mailed transcripts as well. We do not accept hand-delivered transcripts. If an email address is required to submit a request from the institution you attended, please use the following: graduateadmissions@wmcarey.edu.
