Welcome Veterans, Service Members & Family Members

Are you a current or former member of the U.S. Armed Services or perhaps a spouse or dependent of one?  If so, East Carolina University may be the perfect place for you to consider attending graduate school!

ECU is proud to be consistently recognized as a “military friendly” institution both nationally and regionally by a variety of sources and organizations.

Our campus is in close proximity to Camp LeJeune, Cherry Point and the Seymour Johnson military base, all of whom contribute to our student-veteran community.  The Graduate School receives approximately 600 applications from armed services personnel and their family members from all across the world each year

Through the collaborative efforts of a variety of offices, ECU offers a robust support and student engagement experience for our armed services students and their families, both in-person and online.  We invite you to learn more about how ECU supports and engages our veteran-student population by exploring the Student Military Services website.
