According to Wikipedia, it was founded in 1892 as Pearl River Boarding School in Poplarville and was rebuilt after fires, moving to Hattiesburg. Other sources describe the Hattiesburg institution opening as South Mississippi College in 1906, which is likely the source of the 1906 date. It took the name William Carey College in 1954 and gained university status in 2006. The main campus is in Hattiesburg, with a second campus near Biloxi. Its College of Osteopathic Medicine, which welcomed students in 2010, is the state's second medical school and the first in the region focused on osteopathic medicine; it earned full accreditation after graduating its first class in 2014.
