ECPI University

If you are doing a masters online while working stay away from this school. Working through this college has been one of the worst experiences I've had to go through.

ECPI advertises being work friendly by allowing a two-week period to submit homework, however if it's the first week of classes its one-week, and if you miss it it's an instant expulsion, no leniency, no justification possible. (they may let you rejoin the next class in ~6 months time). This isn't great, but fine. The fact there isn't an automated system tied to it saying "Hey, you'll be kicked out of the program, get your homework done" shows the schools quality.

Far worse is the fact that a financial waiver submitted through your appointed financial advisor that has been received, then forwarded to the "correct department" can sit unused, with no attempt to reach out to you for clarification for months resulting in automatic systems setting debtors after you personally instead of going through your organization.

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.

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.

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!

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.

If you were in the military, this school will steal your benefits money and then set you up to fail at the end. They actually do not want you to graduate because that is part of the scam. Any complaints will backfire and they will blame you for random things. If somehow you do graduate, the degree is basically worthless when compared to a public university education. Advise: Go to a state school and stay far away from this sham institution.

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.

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.

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.

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.

$30,000 in debt for my accomplishments to be unrecognized. I only went to school for 1 month in person and then COVID happened and everything happened virtually. "Hand on" experience was taken away for me ( which I understand due to COVID). When I finished my externship I was lost of what to do next. I had to email my advisor like 3 TIMES and when I got her attention she tells me that I graduated and my diploma will be sent thru mail. My $#*! is in hella debt for paying their asses to ignore me. I feel like my work their has gone unrecognized and I didn't even have a graduation. How come I graduated but feel so unaccomplished?!

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.

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!

Withholding a 20,000 degree for a 20$ book. 5 years later never got my degree i earned and paid for. Cant even get a job in the field at all. Waste of money and time dont come here

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.
