He received his Ph.D. in sociology in 2006 from Kansas State University. He had done additional graduate study at the University of Tennessee.

In 2007, he was given the title of chair of the Department of Sociology. Carter was also employed in 2001 as an adult case manager for Helen Ross McNabb in Knoxville, TN.

"Having Dr. Carter joining the team is an exceptional move. To bring someone with his professional experience, scholarship and talents to CU is a win for the entire university family," said Dr. Donna Hedgepath, Campbellsville University's vice president for academic affairs.

Carter belongs to the following professional associations: Alpha Kappa Delta, American Sociological Association, Anthropologists and Sociologists of Kentucky, Midwest Sociological Society, North American Society for the Sociology of Sport, Southern Sociological Society and The Society for the Scientific of Relation.
