Study Abroad Program
Elizabeth City State University is a member of the UNC Exchange Program (UNC-EP), the official system-wide student exchange program of the sixteen campuses of the University of North Carolina. As a result, ECSU students may spend a semester or full academic year studying in Australia, Brazil, China, Finland, Germany, Mexico, or Uruguay.
ECSU offers other study-abroad opportunities as part of the Mid-Atlantic Consortium Center for Academic Excellence (MAC-CAE). The goal of MAC-CAE is to educate and train a new cadre of students from diverse backgrounds to pursue careers with the nation’s key intelligence agencies, including the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State, the Central Intelligence Agency, Army Intelligence, Air Force Intelligence, Navy Intelligence, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Agency. ECSU students who are selected spend eight weeks living and learning in India. They learn to read and write in Hindi, the sixth mostly widely used language in the world.
Study abroad is affordable. Financial aid, including scholarships, may be used to pay for exchange programs. For further information, visit the website http//www.ecsu.edu/academics/programs/international.index.cfm.
