Build a Better Life.
Since 1967, ECC has been helping adult learners gain the knowledge, skills, and experience to launch or advance their career — or change careers. ECC offers:
-
Personalized Support
It starts before you even attend ECC. Our Academic Success Center will help you through the admissions application and guide you through the FAFSA application. Once here, you can access free tutoring in everything from writing to math. And our academic advisors offer one-on-one coaching to help you determine a major and choose a career path. -
Vast Programs of Study
Whether you want to be part of a healthcare team or launch your own business, we have the pathway to get you there. You can finish your college transfer degree or earn a career-focused degree, diploma, or certificate. With flagship programs in health sciences, explore ECC’s highly respected programs in everything from nursing to radiography to surgical technology. -
Seamless Transition
Complete a certificate or two-year program at ECC and move directly into the workforce — or seamlessly transition to any of the 16 University of North Carolina System universities, thanks to our strong relationship with the system. In addition, we have special transfer relationships with East Carolina University, Fayetteville State University, Elizabeth City University, and others.

Pay a fraction of the price of four-year schools.
Whatever stands in your way to an education, we can help clear your path. That includes financial obstacles. First, by choosing ECC, you’ll pay less — much, much less — than you would at a four-year school. We knock down financial barriers with:
-
Affordable Tuition
Tuition and fees remain affordable at $88 per semester hour, as they do at all NC community colleges. -
Scholarships and Aid
Financial aid is available through a combination of grants, work, scholarships, and loans. Most students receive some type of financial aid. Apply once to be considered for all of ECC’s scholarships. -
Finish Line Grants
If an emergency strikes, get up to $1,000 to complete your studies. -
Expertise
Our financial aid team is just a phone call or email away.
Flexibility for Your Busy Life
At ECC, you can take classes according to your schedule. We offer traditional in-person classes, online classes, and hybrid options. To finish more quickly, we offer accelerated short-term programs that start at varying times through the year. ECC offers 14 degrees that are fully online, plus a number of diplomas and certificates also available online.
