Welcome to the College of Business at East Carolina University.

Whether you take classes online or in the classroom, you'll find quality, value, and flexibility second to none.  Our 40-year accreditation by the AACSB underscores this commitment to education.

In our four-year undergraduate program, leadership and professional development are the central focus ‒ in addition to teaching the "nuts and bolts" of business. Our unique approach helps develop valuable 21st century skills ‒ such as communication skills, leadership skills, and professionalism ‒ so that students are prepared to step forward wherever future opportunities may arise. This comprehensive approach is unique to ECU, and it better prepares our graduates

At the graduate level, we offer business programs that further prepare students for careers as effective and responsible leaders. Whether you seek a Master of Business Administration or a Master of Science in Accounting, we have a program designed for you with optional certificates available. Our MBA is offered completely online, completely in the classroom, or a combination of the two, giving you the flexibility you need.

Our College also enjoys a diverse and talented faculty. Instruction is provided by qualified full-time professors – not graduate teaching assistants.  Plus, all of our business students receive personalized support through a network of mentors, advisors, and coaches in our Center for Student Success.

I encourage you to explore our website and learn more about the opportunities we have to offer you in the College of Business.

We look forward to welcoming you to Pirate Country.
