ECPI University prides itself on our career-focused method of education. We forge solid business partnerships with local industry leading businesses. These companies sit on our Academic Advisory Board to provide invaluable feedback on our curricula, and occasionally serve as guest lecturers.

Student Services

Our student services departments are here to help students every step of the way, from Financial Aid and tuition assistance during enrollment, to on-demand Tutoring and Academic Support during their studies, all the way up to graduation, where Career Services offers guidance on resume building, job searches, and interview preparation.

• Financial Assistance

Industry-Recognized Certifications

Certifications can help otherwise qualified graduates stand out from a sea of equally qualified candidates in a competitive job market. Students can find available certifications in their industry, study using official exam prep, and even sit for many certification or licensure exams right here on campus.

These certifications can be earned in tandem with degrees, and are typically offered to students at a significant discount.

As a career-focused university, ECPI University promotes a sense of community through networking. You may find your place on campus in one of our many student clubs and organizations (or start your own!)

• PC Clubs
• Veterans
• Kappa Sigma Pi
• Phi Theta Kappa
• Various other clubs
• eSports

Not all clubs are available at all campuses, but all campuses are supportive of students looking to start a career focused club on campus.

Community College Alliance Partnership

ECPI University and Tidewater Community College, recognizing the need to facilitate the admission of transfer students from Tidewater Community College to ECPI University as they pursue a bachelor's degree in Information Technology, resolve to adopt a guaranteed admission agreement (GAA). Tidewater Community College students who do not meet the terms described herein may still apply and be considered for admission; however, admission is not guaranteed.

Tidewater Community College graduates who participate in this GAA will be able to complete a BS degree in an accelerated time frame (as long as the student is available to take two classes per term). They will also have access to career services advising and other student services.
