East Carolina University (ECU) is a public university in Greenville, North Carolina, United States.[6] It is the fourth largest university in North Carolina and the only one in the state with schools of medicine, dentistry and engineering.

Founded on March 8, 1907, as a teacher training school, East Carolina has grown from its original 43 acres (17 ha) to almost 1,600 acres (647 ha) today.[7] The university's academic facilities are located on six properties: Main Campus, Health Sciences Campus, West Research Campus, the Field Station for Coastal Studies in New Holland, North Carolina, the Millennial Research Innovation Campus in Greenville's warehouse district and an overseas campus in Certaldo Alto, Italy. ECU also operates the Coastal Studies Institute.[8][9]

The research university has nine undergraduate colleges, graduate school, and four professional schools.[10] All of the non-health sciences majors are located on the main campus. The College of Nursing, College of Allied Health Sciences, The Brody School of Medicine, and School of Dental Medicine are located on the health science campus. ECU is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity".[11]

There are eleven social sororities, 16 social fraternities, four historically black sororities, five historically black fraternities, one Native American fraternity, and one Native American sorority.[12] There are over 400 registered clubs on campus including fraternities and sororities.[13]
