^History

ECPI University was founded in Norfolk, Virginia in 1966. Initially formed as an institution offering accelerated education in computer science and programming, ECPI University later expanded its offerings to include Electronics Engineering Technology, Health Sciences, Nursing, and Culinary Arts.

In 2012, ECPI University was the subject of a US Senate report by the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, investigating misuse of Federal funds by for-profit education companies. It concluded that while student withdrawal rates were significantly better than many companies examined, withdrawal rates for smaller online programs, and student loan default rates, were troubling.

ECPI University was previously known as ECPI College of Technology but it changed its name on June 1, 2011, and started offering master's degrees in the field of Computer and Information Science.

The acronym ECPI stands for East Coast Polytechnic Institute.

ECPI University's academic offerings are organized into six colleges:

·        College of Technology,

·        College of Nursing,

·        College of Health Sciences,

·        College of Business,

·        College of Criminal Justice,

·        College of Culinary Arts.

ECPI University offers diploma and degree programs in Information Technology, Electronics Engineering Technology, Health Science, Nursing, Business, Criminal Justice, and Culinary Arts through its five colleges.

ECPI University's students take two courses per session through its year-round curriculum with a 30-month bachelor's degree and a 15-month associate degree. Courses are offered on campus, online, or in hybrid formats.
