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 health care 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 17 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 and Elizabeth City University.

Hear from one of our students

“I’m glad I took the chance to come to ECC, because I’ve learned a lot. The instructors really and truly want to see you succeed. Here you get the knowledge you need and the hands-on skills to learn how to use it. [My instructor] has helped me work toward my goals every step of the way.”
Jacob, Electrical Systems Technology Student, Class of 2023

Pay a fraction of the price
of four-year schools.

Whatever stands in your way to an ECC 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 of Edgecomb’s 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 16-, 12-, 8- and 4-week 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.

Start your journey toward better skills, better jobs and your brighter future today!
