Students can participate in cultural and social activities and clubs, join organizations
and honor societies, and become involved in sports, arts, music, and other creative
opportunities that enhance their personal growth and leadership skills. New technology-enhanced
learning initiatives – like our Drone Technology and Aviation programs – give ECSU
students a competitive advantage in the 21st century marketplace.
We are proud to be home of NC Promise – a statewide initiative designed to increase
educational access, reduce student debt and grow the state’s economy. ECSU is one
of four state universities that benefit from the lower tuition rate and the opportunity
to graduate with less debt. Our commitment to access and affordability for higher
education will remain a critical part of our mission.
Each year, ECSU is recognized by various higher education organizations for our commitment
to providing a high-quality education that is affordable and accessible to all who
seek it. We are ranked #5 among Public Schools in the Regional College South and #6
