What you’ll explore
Entry requirements
Your path to ECC may begin in different ways. The requirements below show the routes available for this programme, and our Admissions team can help you understand how your qualifications fit.
A relevant CCCJ associate degree—or an equivalent award from another accredited institution—is required for entry to the final two-year bachelor stage. Bridging courses may be assigned when the associate degree is not in a relevant area.
A final-semester associate student may articulate while trailing no more than six (6) credits, provided the outstanding course is not from Year 1 or the programme’s major/specialization.
Equivalent qualifications and mature status may be considered in accordance with CCCJ/ECC policy.
Programme structure
Explore each study option semester by semester, from your first foundation courses to the experiences that prepare you for work and further study. Summer semesters are included where they help you complete the two-year stage.
