ECPI University

The school needs to educate students based on their chosen field of study. Electrical engineering doesn't have anything to do with social progressive ideas. Yet another indoctrination facility masquerading as higher education.

I'll start off by saying that the teachers and staff are very helpful and positive. I honestly learned a lot even in such a fast pace environment. However, DO NOT believe that they will help you find a job. I'm over a year out with no career in my field yet. I tried to get help through career services and the best she could do was help me create a LinkedIn profile. So now I stress on how I will pay this expensive school back with no IT job to show for it. Going here is a gamble. It's only worth it if you have a guaranteed position waiting for you upon graduation.

This school Is awful! Please don't waste your 30,000 or 50,000. Most students come out with no degree and pockets empty! Please listen i didn't, they will screw you over! The DON and the Dean, are not on your side! They make a pretty big salary off ripping folks off!

I got my degree in Mechatronics Engineering. School is kind of overpriced, but if you're working full time like I was, it's a good school. I liked that it was all online and year-round accelerated. My company paid for a good portion of it and I was able to complete 80% of my homework during downtime at work, which was a huge plus for me. Noticed people complaining, mostly because they obviously didn't graduate and that's kind of on them. If you're not currently working, you're better off at state schools/community college to save money. But if you're someone like me who has a decent paying job that you don't want to lose in order to pursue an education, want a degree quickly, and just needed a piece of paper to help you improve your career, this might be a good school for you.

They treat complaints with disciplinary actions against you. And you have reason to complain. The vast majority of classes are not at college level and those that are only happen to be because one or two professors go far beyond the curriculum. The classes are almost impossible to transfer, so once you're in it's difficult to leave without starting over from scratch.

ECPI is a fraud. Quality of students they admit is bad. It's not possible for any student to concentrate for more than an hour. Class time at ECPI is 5 hours. The way this fraud continues is by making real bad students think they are learning as they pass exams. If a teacher would give them an exam comparable to other colleges they will all fail. They come to ECPI knowing full well it's federal grant money so students want a free degree without studying paid by federal tax dollars.

If you choose this school to be prepared for all types of stuff. Its culture prejudice, the most teacher is unqualified to teach the course, so you not taught, you either teach self or get peer help. Teachers don't even stay employed that's about fairness. Board of nursing comes to this place but I wonder how they slip through the cracks with this stuff. Listen people are not on here lying at all. This is not right for people who go in debt to go to school to get a degree. Once you sign that dotted line, you obligated to that loan, so you have to go if not it's like you are given free money and no they don't only charge you for what time you went but the entire tuition. Now if you can deal with these types of things be my guess. I wish the Board of nursing will read these reviews to cause a change. Im praying for change admittedly.

It's so convenient because I'm working simultaneously and pursuing my education. I'm not sure why there is negative comments but I can only speak for my experience. I've learned a tremendous amount that has definitely helped me with my skills and understanding and I definitely would do it again it's been wonderful.

Their learning style is all over the place. When over half the class makes a failing grade there is something wrong with the teaching style. Grades are not given in a timely fashion. One class starts before you get the last classes end grade results. Professors may or may not email you back. Worst educational experience I have ever had.

NOTHING is what you get. I made the mistake of enrolling, for the first two weeks you pay for things that have nothing to do with the degree of choice, as well as it because a social internet party. At my age, I know how to manage my time, I know how to study and I was really looking forward to learning about the field of choice. Friend of mine who had enrolled at a local college have already gotten into their field of choice right off the bat. Their instructors don't Skype/Zoom for a social hour and talk about their pets, children or the way their hair is fixed... they talk about what the student has signed up for and don't wast their time. I am switching to go to the local college, to pursue my degree. Thank God I caught it just in the neck of time. Good luck to even picks ECPI as their college choice more power to you!

I have been trying to get contact on faculty at ECPI. Websites show NO e-mail/phone/faculty profiles. I've called 3 times, no luck. Call 1: The girl hang up on me stating she was there to enroll students ONLY. Call 2 - was sent from Raleigh campus to Charlotte campus... message said that there is no valid mailbox for the phone number I was transferred to. Call 3: After obtaining the Charlotte desk (thru the internet), I called them. Sent me to another mailbox that went to an actual voice mail. Maybe this will lead to me obtaining the information I need.

Do not go here. They couldn't care less about the students. They create ways to make you fail. Then you are left with no education but with massive student loan debt! Save your money and go to a community college! If could give negative stars, I would! Go elsewhere!

Got all the way through the RN program had one class left and was accused of cheating by an LPN teacher who had no evidence or proof, coincidentally there were no cameras to pull from this particular classroom and they took her word against mine (of course). I'm now in debt from student loans with no degree to show for it and no "real" answers as to why. I would hate to say it was racial discrimination but I know Caucasian people who were actually caught red handed but were allowed to stay enrolled.

I really enjoyed my experience. Very different from the community college. Lots of labs, focused degree, and great classmates. I was nervous at first but they made the process easy. Thanks to their career services department I landed my first career and just bought my first home

Jim Olson is willing to have Dean's List students indefinitely suspended by just saying "you know what you did and we won't tell you what you did." The school is filled with liars and cheats. Mr. Sullivan and John Olson are willing to **** you over.

I graduated from ecpi and every interview I went to never heard of the school! They go can't keep staff so several corsesa are thought by the same teacher a group of students and I tried to complain because we went getting what we pay for and the disorder was distracting but we got denied! Do not go to this school its a waist of time and money!

Worse experience ever. I felt they were satisfied more that I because they got my money and I got nothing in return.

They attempted to make what should have been in person at school virtual. Worse ever.

This school will do everything to sign you up. Then 2.5 years later 65,000 in debt with nothing to show for it. No grad ceremony, no diploma, no help with internship, job placement nor current certifications after graduation. Had perfect grades and worked hard for nothing.

They just want money they don't actually care about your education or want to see you pass. If you are failing oh well to them, if a professor sucks oh well they don't care. It's all around horrible I wish I stayed at vcu where I know it would've been better then here.

This college is full of liars and cheats. You will be treated as nothing but $$$ because that's all you are them. You and your education don't matter to the staff at all. It is a waste of time and money. 36k for the LPN program more things should be cover but you will spend an extra 2000 grand out of pocket and they will drag their feet on scholarship until you either don't get them or they will refuse to refund extra money to you and will decide what loans they want to apply it to without even asking you and that will be after they take you banking information with the lie that you money will be refunded to you. Please do yourself and your wallet a favor don't go to ECPI.

I went into ECPI for Mechanical Engineering (as it's put on their site), but I realized after 2 months that it was MET instead. More digging and I realized they aren't ABET accredited, so their entire engineering program is worthless. Finally, I asked for a bachelors which they agreed to, then sneakily signed me up for an associates which I had to dig through their clunky site or old emails to find out about. Not to mention their very poor professors who towards the end of my stay got worse and cared far less. There was also never any calculus, or any classes one could call worthwhile. When transferred to ODU, almost every class counted as an elective credit, not a direct equivalent to anything. I feel lied to and used, and I'm just glad i got out before the debt got really nasty.

Oh, and the final email about class action suits isnt very comforting.

First let me say I'm empathetic to the people who haven't got the best from this school. I loooooove ECPI I went for my Practical Nursing degree and it was very challenging but definitely doable we started out with many and ended few but if you're dedicated and driven you will do just fine. I'm going back now for my associates in engineering and shortly after my Bachelors. You'll be AIGHT

I had no major issues when I attended classes in 2008 - 2010. The classes were nearly all tailored toward the student objectives (instructors for "core classes" were not always as on target for this, but when I took the path of electronic repair, my instructors were good about adapting most material to show how it would apply to my field of study). The only complaint I really had was that some of the equipment needed for hands on experience was not initially available when I started at the Concord campus, but as it was a newer satellite location compared to the Charlotte campus, this is somewhat forgivable - especially when one of my classes worked together to present the items we felt was needed to the campus administration, and we got most everything on our list. The things we didn't get, we got comparable items that worked for the goal of being able to manually setup and configure network devices. To me, that showed a caring staff that was concerned about the students' success and their opinions on what is needed to that end. It also let us have a say in how some of the money we were putting into our education there was being used.
