Tips for ECU’s Fall 2024 Open House

Pirate Nation is buzzing with excitement this week as we prepare to welcome more than 2,000 future Pirates and their families to our ARRRGH campus for ECU’s Fall 2024 Open House this weekend!

Open House is a special time for everyone in Pirate Nation, past, present and future. Alumni love seeing how the university continues to grow and thrive, current students enjoy greeting the newest members of the Pirate crew, and future students can’t help but get excited about joining one of the top universities in the country!

This year’s event will take place on Saturday, November 9 from 9 a.m-2 p.m. Join us in the heart of Pirate Nation for guided campus tours, residence hall walkthroughs, major exploration sessions, and food tastings at the dining halls. You’ll have the chance to experience what life as an ECU student is really like, with insight from current Pirates (just like me!). We’ll share tips and tricks to help make your four years at ECU as successful and enjoyable as possible.

Still undecided on a major? Don’t worry! We’ll have representatives from each academic department on hand to answer your questions and help you explore the 84 different degrees we offer at ECU. Be sure to check out the major catalog ahead of time to get a jump start on your academic planning.

And don’t miss the academic and campus life fair—where you can explore over 400 student clubs and organizations. Visit The Pirate Experience to discover extracurricular opportunities that match your interests, and remember, if you can’t find what you’re looking for, you’re welcome to start your own student organization!

In the meantime, enjoy a recap from last year’s Open House to get a sneak peek at what’s to come!
