The school is in a nice little small are, the community is very supportive to all students there, they want to see everybody succeed. The professors are really welcoming and adjust to how their students need.
No communication from departments and the process of trying to do things like request a transcript is very slow and tedious. Nobody I've talked to has been helpful and I end up more confused than before.
Excellent online graduate programs! Excellent academic support! Excellent student experience! Will recommend this school to anyone!
I was able to take concurrent classes at East Central University. The process to take concurrent classes are extremely hard. The admissions office is extremely difficult. But, if you get through that process then you'll love the college.
The school is a the top and the campus is very beautiful. The people in the city are very nice and the area is just a great environment.
The admissions employees have been very kind during my enrollment process. They have answered every question I've had, and he made me feel welcomed, and excited to start my new experience.
Nice campus. Friendly teachers. Class sizes are small allowing for better student/teacher communication.
I love the small school feel. A lot of the teachers are really great and the president is phenomenal. Study spaces are also great. Sooo many scholarship opportunities, super affordable. I have had issues getting my transcript the records office is slow. I have also had to go into financial aid to have them fix some things. Overall a good school.
ECU is located in a small town which makes commutes very easy. Classroom sizes are small. Professors are friendly and easy to communicate with.
The thing I loved most about East Central University was the people more specifically the professors in the history Department. I can honestly say without a doubt I have never met a bigger collection of truly dare I say gifted historical Scholars. Right from the beginning they taught us not only history but how to think about history. How to be objective by taking ourselves out of the equation and putting ourselves in the shoes of historical figures. From them I learned that I had talents that I did not believe were possible. I am a terrible speller but I am actually a good writer and a good researcher. The other departments were excellent as well the professors were knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. The facilities of the University were always clean, and orderly. When I was on campus I always felt safe. In summary I can truly say without a doubt that the four years that I spent at East Central University where the best of my life and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
East central universities main draw is its price point, as it is the most affordable four year institution in the state, with tuition coming up to around 3500 per semester. The school suffers from empty promises and poor administration who tend to care more about how the school looks from an outside perspective than the actual college experience. Drop in enrollment has lead to less and less support of the arts, Greek life, and extra curricular activities in general, while the school tries to push online or mixed learning without the professors or insfistrucure to support it.
What I like most about East Central University is it is a small college where the professors get to know you personally and with a relationship with professors helps them teach you better.
Very great community and staff. All the professors are very helpful and flexible when it comes to each student's personal education.
East Central will always be home. You know your roots are planted here with room to grow as big as you want. The professors actually care so legitimately and whole heartedly about the success of their students. It is truly heart warming to come back after being gone for so long and the same people I started with are those that I will end with.
Firstly, I want to say that I love ECU. The professors are amazing, responsive, and genuinely care about you and your success. However, the school administration is terrible (mostly the president of the university, President Pierson). Administration does not support or take pride in anything about this school. They really don’t care about athletics, clubs or organizations, or departments (or at least that’s very much what it seems like). i’ve heard from NO ONE that they feel admin supports them or hears them out. Greek Life also feels that the school doesn’t support them at all. Other than admin, the school is welcoming, easy to get around, and the students are super nice! grab coffee from the perfect blend too!!
With online learning the professors really try their best but ECU definitely excels in inperson classroom learning, especially considering the size of campus.
While online learning was not my preferred way of taking classes, the ECU faculty did an excellent job in providing a quality education to their students! After COVID-19 hit, the transition into online learning went incredibly smooth and professors were both helpful and fast at replying to emails. The professors did such a good job that I decided to take some summer courses online as well. I found that I learned a lot and had fun! The online tuition prices weren't bad at all, and the experience was totally worth it! I highly recommend taking classes at East Central online should you need to!
