A guide for students seeking an online education recently ranked William Carey University as a "Best Online College" in Mississippi.
 
OnlineColleges.net ranked Carey third out of nine schools on the top online schools list. More than 30 colleges and universities offering online programs in the state were considered in the rankings, which factor in tuition and retention rates, accreditation status and program options. The rankings use data from the National Center for Education Statistics, the primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data related to education.
 
The Carey review noted, "Regardless of the degree level they seek, prospective students have numerous fully online options available to them, in addition to further hybrid degree options," and that "...online students receive a lot of individualized care, including academic advisors ready to answer questions to an extensive online library for all research needs."
 
Carey offers online undergraduate and graduate programs in education, music and ministry, nursing and criminal justice. In education, the bachelor's degree in physical education is offered as well as Master of Education degrees in mild and moderate disabilities, elementary education and secondary education. The educational specialist degree is offered in instructional leadership and the Doctor of Education degree is available in educational leadership.
 
In music and ministry, the Master of Music degree in church music and the Master of Music Education degree are offered. In nursing, the registered nurse to Bachelor of Science in nursing degree is available, along with the Master of Science degree in nursing, the dual MSN-Master of Business Administration degree and the RN-MSN degree. A master's degree in criminal justice will be available beginning in February 2016.
