Abstract
The mission of East Carolina University (ECU), which is located in Greenville, North Carolina, is to be a national model for student success, public service, and regional transformation. As of fall 2023, ECU serves over 26,000 students and offers 85 bachelor’s degree programs, 68 master’s programs, 13 doctoral degree programs, and various other certificate and advanced programs. Current enrollment includes nearly 20,000 full-time students (17,104 undergraduates, 2,700 graduate students, 591 in the School of Medicine, and 207 in the School of Dental Medicine). Almost 90% of these students are from North Carolina, with the remaining students coming to ECU from 46 states, Washington, D.C., and 70 countries. Students from underrepresented groups comprise 31% of the population, and over 40% pursue STEM/Health Care degrees. The ECU student-faculty ratio is 18:1, with approximately 2,000 faculty.
