Welcome to Research and Graduate Studies

Welcome to the Division of Research and Graduate Studies. We are proud of East Carolina University’s growing research community and seek to promote research and creative activity around campus through faculty development, partnerships with local communities, and improved access to information about Eastern North Carolina.

ECU Research and Creative Achievement Week provides students with an excellent opportunity to practice their presentation skills and meet other creative scholars at ECU with similar interests. UNDERGRADUATE and GRADUATE students are invited to present their research to fellow students, colleagues, faculty, and the local community in a professional, conference-style setting.  We define research as an original systematic investigation and/or original creative activity designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge or culture.                                                                        Read More
