Special Notice

Local media incorrectly reported that Jazz Studies at ECU is slated to be cut or de-emphasized as a result of the university's draft plan for program consolidation. In fact, the undergraduate and graduate performance degrees with concentration in jazz studies would be maintained. Only the minor and certificates in jazz would be eliminated.
