Charleston, SC – ECPI University will begin offering classes for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at its campus in North Charleston, SC in 2023. Because of ECPI University’s unique year-round schedule, BSN students can earn their degree in as little as 2.5 years.

“We are thrilled to bring our BSN program to Charleston,” said ECPI University Chief Operating Officer Barbara Larar. “Our university strives to create an immersive educational experience by providing high-engagement simulation labs for our nursing programs. Under the instruction of our experienced nursing faculty, the BSN students will learn and practice skills, visit clinical sites, and prepare for their future career in a controlled, supportive environment.”

The Charleston campus also offers Practical Nursing (PN) and Registered Nursing (RN) programs. Dr. Heather Rawson, a certified nurse educator who previously served as the campus’ PN and RN Director of Nursing, will now serve as the Charleston BSN Director of Nursing.

“For potential students looking to get started on their nursing education in the new year, we are currently enrolling for the very first BSN cohort, which is set to begin on January 23rd,” said Dr. Rawson. “In addition, we are looking to have two additional BSN cohorts start later in the year.”

ECPI University has been serving the Charleston community since 2003 and recently completed a move to a larger campus location in 2022 at 3800 Paramount Drive, N. Charleston, South Carolina 29405. Besides nursing, the campus offers programs of study in medical assisting, cyber and information security, and engineering technology.

Virginia Beach, VA – ECPI University is pleased to announce its inclusion in the 2022 Best for Vets: Employers list by Military Times.

The Military Times Best for Vets: Employers rankings are based on the results of a voluntary survey that covers a company’s policies and practices for current employees and future job seekers within the military community. ECPI University was one of just five educational institutions to make the Employers list. Part of the assessment included the university’s efforts to recruit, retain, and support military-affiliated employees. Military Times’ technical report and methodology is located here. 

“Over 10% of ECPI University’s faculty and staff, and nearly 35% of the university’s student base, are connected to the military community,” says ECPI University President Mark Dreyfus. “Supporting and honoring their sacrifice is a core ECPI University value, and we deeply respect the leadership and experience our military-affiliated faculty and staff bring to our university.” 

ECPI University was also included for the 11th consecutive year in Military Times’ 2022 Best for Vets: Education list this August.

“Whether it’s an active-duty service member earning their degree, a veteran ECPI graduate working in their field, or a military spouse staff member, the entire university system is committed to creating a supportive and encouraging environment for our military,” says Bill Brown, Executive Director of Military Education for ECPI University, an Army veteran himself.
