Welcome to East Carolina University's Academic Catalogs

East Carolina University no longer publishes printed catalogs. Instead, both undergraduate and graduate catalogs are offered online in two formats, an HTML version and a PDF version. The HTML version is a continuously updated, dynamic, edition of the academic catalog that is accessible via a Web browser. It is kept current with curriculum revisions as they are approved by the university, and is the official university academic catalog. The PDF version is a downloadable copy of the HTML catalog as it stands on August 15 of each year, when it is “frozen” to establish the guidelines and regulations under which each incoming class will matriculate.

Which version should you use?

Both! Students should follow their degree requirements as found in the PDF version of the catalog, but should also use the HTML version to find the latest information about course offerings and major/minor options.

Which catalog year should you use?

A degree-seeking student enters ECU under the catalog in effect at the time of his or her official enrollment. This means that a student entering ECU in the fall of 2011, or in the spring of 2012, would follow degree requirements listed in the catalog for the 2011-2012 academic year (i.e. 2011-2012 catalog.pdf). A student can choose to graduate under a catalog published after the enrollment date.
