ECPI University

"I’m not sure how this school has a 3.9 rating. ECPI is very sketchy about pretty much everything and doesn’t tell you anything straight up. Be careful and choose your school wisely."

"I’m a current student at ECPI and overall I have been satisfied with my experience as a student at ECPI but they do not care about their students. Teachers have favoritism and there is a lack of tutoring support. I was put into “Intro to programming logic controllers” back in August of 2022 and I’m just now as of May 2023 doing the Lab portion of this class. How am I supposed to remember something from almost a year ago that I was given 5 weeks to learn? And I’m expected to remember everything. Fix your curriculum ECPI!!!!!!"

"I was interested in going into the RN program and was told I would have to retake all the A&P classes because my credits from Greenville technical college would not transfer, nor will the TEAS examine I had to take at Greenville tech which is valid for five years and my credits from tech were only three years old, so be prepared to start all over if you already have credits, they will not be accepted. They say they will but only if your credits are less than a year old."

"The University itself is awesome, the instructors go out of their way to help you meet your goals in order to graduate and be successful. However once you graduate the career recruiter is suppose to help you get into a career of your major. Needless to say I graduated a year in half ago, and yet still unemployed. The career recruiter does absolutely nothing to help you get a job; most of the time doesn’t even return your calls. Once you go over their head to get results the career recruiter will email you a few job links but other than that, that’s about it. I completely understand the economy isn’t in the best conditions but most of the people who are receiving jobs it’s because they know someone directly or have a connection on the inside. I don’t feel the career recruiter is really helping by emailing a few job links. This only allows you to get lost in the flooded resume pile that the companies are already receiving. The whole point of having a recruiter is to basically cut out the middle man, and help you get noticed. That kind of service hasn’t been provided to me or any other students I graduated with. Some of my former classmates are working now (because of the jobs they found own their own), but was forced to take any job that could get. Unfortunately most are making the same or even less than what they was earning before they even received their degrees. When considering going back to college make sure you do your research on EVERYTHING, and not just the academics program. The academics are great, but once you’re finished your own your own, which is sad because the university got paid well for my education. Overall I rate the university at a 4. I loved the university as well as the instructors but the after experience not so well."

"ECPI is certainly not at the top but certainly not at the bottom like many make it out to be. I think that you get your money's worth. Unfortunately, I believe the president bags all of the money. It would be a better school if they actually used the money we pay. However, the teachers are great for the most-part. There were a few that were a bit off the wall; but you'd find that in a larger university too. Having been to several other larger universities I can say that they have their share of weird, bad teachers too. The education was good. Obviously, I think that more information would have stuck if I spent more time with it, but this is accelerated learning. So, I can't complain. The 1 on 1 time with the teachers makes up for the lack of time on a subject in my opinion. Overall, it's not a bad school. they do things differently which is okay. Those that don't get much out of it don't put much into it. If they don't learn it is their own fault. The information is there. I've sat in several classes with students who claim not to learn stuff but then again never try and are playing games instead."
