Hands-on Degree Programs
Healthcare anchors much of what happens at the Charleston campus. Our Practical Nursing (PN), Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), and Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs prepare students for roles across the Lowcountry's hospitals, clinics, and care facilities, while our Medical Assisting program offers another route into hands-on patient care.
For students drawn to technology, our Cybersecurity, Software Development, and Mechatronics programs build skills in areas like network security, programming, automation, and systems technology.
Across both fields, students develop capability in spaces set up to reflect the workplace, including:
- Nursing Simulation Center – High-fidelity patient simulators and hospital-style settings for practicing clinical skills and decision-making.
- Medical Assisting Labs – Clinical stations equipped for the tasks found in physician offices and outpatient settings.
- Computer and Networking Labs – Current hardware and software supporting networking, cybersecurity, and software development coursework.
Campus Life
The Charleston campus pairs a student-centered environment with resources and activities that support students inside and outside their programs.
- Support for Student Veterans – The Student Veterans of America (SVA) fosters a strong sense of community and provides resources for military-affiliated students, helping them transition to academic and professional life.
- Honors Societies – The Golden Key International Honour Society and Phi Theta Kappa (Beta Omicron Epsilon chapter) recognize academic achievement and offer access to networking and leadership opportunities.
- Career and Networking Events – Employer recruitment events, healthcare career fairs, and workforce activities connect students with opportunities across the Lowcountry.
- eSports Team – Students can try out for the Rams, ECPI University's collegiate gaming team, to represent the university and compete in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC).
